This beautiful, easy to make cranberry sauce features all the delicious flavors of the classic with a citrusy twist. You won't even have to whip out a single pot or pan or turn on the stove; the relish comes together in the food processor. All you have to do is pulse the orange zest, orange pieces, jalapeño, sugar, cranberries, and walnuts until the ingredients are chopped and well combined. The best part is, especially if you're hoping to serve it as a festive side for a holiday meal, you can let it hang out in the fridge for 2 days, and dish it out chilled or at room temperature for even more convenience.
