"For one, it is a no-cook recipe. Instead the orange and cranberry just go into a food processor and get pulsed until they form a roughly chopped mixture. It can be done in 15 minutes. And second, it can be prepared ahead of time. In fact, Bourdain preferred it that way, saying it only got better the longer it sat in the fridge. It's the kind of prep-and-forget-it holiday side dish recipe that a cook trying to optimize their time will really appreciate."
"Despite needing only three ingredients the cranberry relish recipe Bourdain gave Food & Wine does have a "secret" ingredient, which is the sugar. After the oranges and cranberries are pulsed together, using three and a quarter cups of cranberries and one sliced up navel orange, a full cup of sugar is added to the relish. Bourdain admits of the recipe, "It contains a shocking amount of sugar," but adds "which you should not balk at. It's a holiday.""
A cranberry relish uses only fresh cranberries, a navel orange, and a full cup of sugar. The orange and cranberries are pulsed in a food processor to form a roughly chopped, no-cook mixture that can be completed in about 15 minutes. The recipe specifies about three and a quarter cups of cranberries and one sliced orange, with a cup of sugar added to balance tartness. The mixture benefits from maceration and gains flavor the longer it rests in the refrigerator. The relish replaces traditional canned cranberry sauce and functions as a make-ahead, prep-and-forget holiday side.
