Tales from the Experimental Kitchen: Fresh Cranberry Relish

3 c. cranberries
The juice and zest of one orange
A second orange, peeled, de-pithed, seeded, sectioned
3 pieces of true-cinnamon bark, macerated in a burr grinder
~1/2 cup of fig preserves
~1 Tbsp of sugar

Throw it all into the food processor and pulse it unto a uniform consistency. [N.B.: The actual process was more hesitant, as I added stuff, tasted it, and said "It needs more X"; but the result is the same.] [A splash of Cointreau or Grand Marnier might not go amiss, either.]

It was, in my opinion, a good representative of its kind; I just personally prefer a cooked cranberry sauce. [livejournal.com profile] nedlnthred was greatly pleased by it, however, and claimed the leftovers with glee, which she intends to put over yogurt. I think it would go well as a relish for cold meats, too.
