In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a simmer. Add the cranberries, sugar, orange juice and zest. Stir until sugar is dissolved and the cranberries begin to pop, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Divide relish in half, reserving half. Add orange segments to half of the cranberries. Stir to combine.
Add pepper jelly and fresh herbs to the remaining half. Stir to combine. Serve relishes in separate dishes.
For best results, use fresh cranberries -- never frozen -- and the best oranges you can find. Presented with the individual tastes of guests in mind, cranberry relish served two ways can be a thoughtful addition to this year's Thanksgiving table.
Great recipe - had to look for it this morning. I add oranges to the entire batch. And I bypass the pepper jelly and add walnuts to half. Great as a loeftover.
GREAT! Everyone loved it even those who do not like cranberries.
