Hi, Madam -- Sounds tasty, but I'm confused a little.

You want to put a whole orange, and later a whole lemon into a food processor? Would I be amiss in suggesting a possible alternative?

Core, seed and then cut apples into quarters. Zest the orange and lemon, then peel the orange and remove the sections. Place apples, citrus zest and orange sections into food processor and pulse until solids are finely chopped.

Is this what you intended, or am I coming down with a case of the weird-too-fancies?   ;^)

That cranberry relish sounds great.
My family are purists :>) and we just use a bag of cranberries and an Orange (rind and all - the rind makes it! Very sweet and tart all at once
... but the addition of walnuts and apples sounds great!

We make it days in advance so all the flavors meld.

Oops:(grocery list)
buy cranberries....check

I’m sorry for not being clear in the recipe!

Yes, you do core the apples before chopping in the processor. However, the orange and lemon, you just quarter and chop in the processor. The original recipe calls for the peels of the lemon and orange in the mix. The seeds just get chopped along with everything else. :-)

If you don’t want to have the peels, you can omit. However, they do add a nice tartness to this relish and I promise you cannot tell they are there once everything is chopped and mixed together.

Our family prefers the relish on the tart side, but you can always add more sugar if you would like.
