Cranberry Relish with Pears and Walnuts

Getting reviews...
This pickle-y version of an old favorite strikes a balance between savory and slightly sweet flavors. The tartness of vinegar makes this relish a little bit savory, which is not only good with turkey but quite good in a sandwich.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and shallots and cook until the shallots are softened, 2 minutes, and then pour in the sherry and vinegar and simmer until the liquid is almost completely absorbed, 3 minutes. Stir in the sugar, lemon zest, whole cranberries and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cranberries begin to burst and the mixture is thick and syrupy, 20 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and let cool slightly. Fold in the chopped cranberries, walnuts, scallions and pears and season with the salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
