Not as sweet as most cranberry relishes, this ruby-colored condiment is a perfect foil for the dark meat.

1 cup | Active Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 1 1/2 hours

Ingredients

• 1 large Spanish onion, peeled, quartered and sliced
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil
• 1 1/2 cups cranberries
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
• 1 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss onions with sugar and oil in a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until the onions are very tender and golden, 1 to 1 1/4 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
2. Transfer the onion mixture to a medium saucepan and add cranberries, orange juice and zest, vinegar and salt. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the cranberries are tender and the mixture is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
