The best although seems like I might use more sugar. Try to find a thin skin orange.

Yes, leaving the peel on the orange is pretty important, for texture as well as taste.

This is absolutely the BEST way to serve cranberries with your Thanksgiving turkey. And yes, leave all or some of the orange peel on and add pecans or walnuts.

Along with leaving the peel on the orange and using walnuts, I add an apple, fuji or granny smith - something not too sweet.

 Bonnie Streit (Ohio) says:
1 pkg of raspberry or cherry jello (dry just pour it in and stir) gives it a great flavor too.

 Shirley Elkin (United States) says:
I use one orange to one package of cranberries, then I add raspberry jello plus 1 1/2 cups sugar. Dissolve the jello in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water and mix with cranberry mixture. I process the orange, cranberries, and sugar in my food processor.

 Tricia Green (Idaho) replies:
My family loved the cranberry relish and so I had to make a lot. I did two oranges, two apples two cups sugar (the sugar amount varied from year to year for some reason, some years I had to add a little more and others not as much) and two packages of fresh cranberries. I ground the oranges whole and the apples with the core out. I also added cinnamon and then a few tastes to make sure its just right.

 The Motorman (California) says:
Great recipe, except I like to leave the skin of oranges on. It increases the tangy taste and adds texture. I use my own Valencia's and the skin is very thin. Not sure how this would work with Navels.

 Jamie Mansperger (United States) says:
I added toasted chopped pecans and 1/4 cup of grand marnier. Very good.

 Ron (Massachusetts) says:
Here is a twist for diabetics. Add 1 jar of sugar free orange marmalade instead of the whole oranges and don't put any sugar in. Mix well, add cinnamon and ginger to taste. Add more Splenda if you need it sweeter.

 Tricia Green (Idaho) replies:
Sounds good, Im diabetic and it looks like it would be a great alternative to me not being able to eat it at all when everyone else has some of the regular. I won't have to just wish I could have some I can actually can with your recipe. Thank You.
