I believe this recipe was published before food processors were in every kitchen. It certainly is easier to simply whir all ingredients in a food processor (perhaps saving the liqueur to stir in afterwards.
We added candied ginger (we didn’t measure, we just eyeballed it) and it was the best cranberry relish we’ve ever put on the table. We might chop the ginger and the orange first, then add the berries, so the berries don’t get chopped to juice because the other ingredients take just a little bit longer. We will serve this again and not just for Thanksgiving.
This is a good recipe for cranberry relish; it's not too sweet. If you have a sensitivity to orange peel, start with one orange and see if you want to add another. I added 2 Pink Lady apples to mine because I thought the orange overwhelmed the flavor. It's a good idea to grind the oranges and cranberries separately to make sure that the orange peel gets evenly chopped.
