We’re celebrating Thanksgiving Bobby Flay style with a not-so-average cranberry sauce that perfectly complements Thanksgiving’s savory sides. While we have nothing against the canned and jellied varieties (we actually really love them!), this easy and delicious recipe adds an extra kick of flavor with the help of ginger, red wine, lots of citrus (thanks to orange juice), and fresh herbs.

Bobby Flay’s Cranberry Relish
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 pound fresh cranberries
- 1 cup fresh red grapefruit juice
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 cup pure cane sugar
- Zest of 1/2 an orange
- Zest of 1/2 a grapefruit
- 1 red grapefruit, segmented
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add about 3/4 of the cranberries to the pan along with the citrus juices and red wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in the sugar and continue to simmer, looking for the cranberries to pop and the mixture to reduce and begin to thicken, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes, until cranberries become soft and the mixture has thickened more. Remove from the heat, fold in the citrus zests, grapefruit segments, and parsley, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl to cool, serve at room temperature or chilled.
