Method

  • step 1

    Put all the ingredients except the pear in a non-reactive saucepan with a large pinch of salt. Bring it slowly to a simmer, stirring to make sure all the sugar has dissolved. Add the pear and continue cooking until the mixture has the consistency of thick jam.

  • step 2

    Sterilise your jars and lids by washing them in hot soapy water, rinsing well and drying them in a warm oven. Spoon the hot relish into the hot jars and seal. Leave to cool. Will keep unopened in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Once opened, relish is best eaten within 2 months.

RECIPE TIPS
FRESH CRANBERRIES

This relish uses dried cranberries, as fresh are not always easy to find if you’re making items early for Christmas. When fresh cranberries are available, swap them for the dried and increase the sugar by 50g/2oz.

I made this because I wanted to use the pears from my garden. I reduced the sugar to 100g and increased the vinegar to 200ml as the dried cranberries needed the extra moisture to take up. Still quite sweet but tasted good. I intend to use it instead of cranberry sauce at Christmas.

question

Can anyone help with these questions pls:

1) My Costco dried cranberries are sweetened - pack says 66% cranberries, sugar and sunflower oil. So maybe 30% sugar. A few of the comments mentioned that the relish was quite sweet - should I reduce the amount of sugar?

2) Will Rocha pears work in this…

Hi, I would drop the sugar by 50g to compensate for the cranberries and use cider rather than raspberry vinegar to drop the sweetness a little. Yes you can use Rocha pears, if you think they are small then use 5 instead. The pears are better a little firm as they will hold their shape. I hope this…

Absolutely fabulous...should be renamed 'relish-ious'. So easy, I am making double quantities. Fresh cranberries give an added attraction.
