Fabulous! I’ve made or had this recipe for a few years, so naturally sweet & yummy
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
Yes, it freezes really well. I prefer to thaw it in the refrigerator.
Been making something very similar for years. I only use 1 orange and leave the peal on. So even simpler to make. My mom use to make this relish with white sugar instead of dates and is happy to eat this version now
Hi, Wendy — I do the same thing and skip both the sugar and the dates. I find naval oranges are naturally sweet enough. I do, however, remove any seeds!
Hi Wendy. How much sugar would you sub for the dates in this recipe? I’m preparing for a low income group where dates may not be easily available or affordable.
I have been making this for years on Thanksgiving and X-mas, but I add chopped walnuts for the crunchiness and some date sugar (instead of dates) and some orange juice. It’s always a refreshing side dish
This was very good and I enjoyed that it had no sugar in it. Friends liked it too!
Holy F this is amazing. Just made to have as a Thanksgiving side. It may not make it until dinner.
Is it sweet or sour?Don’t Cranberries seem to be very sour without some kind of sugar?
Sooooooo easy and delicious! I added a little apple and pineapple!
Made this for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a big hit! Then I used the leftovers to dip apple slices and to top an oatmeal bake. So versatile and so delicious. Best part is how easy it is to make
What is oatmeal bake? Sounds delicious
