Ingredients
1 pound satsuma mandarins (3 to 5)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup full-bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
1 1/4 pounds fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained; or frozen cranberries (6 cups)
Kosher salt
Preparation
Finely grate zest of satsumas into a bowl. Peel and section fruits, removing as much stringy membrane as possible, then seed and coarsely chop flesh; transfer with any juices to bowl.
Combine sugar and wine in a large nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a vigorous simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Stir in cranberries and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring constantly, until some of the cranberries begin to burst and collapse, 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in satsuma zest, flesh, and juices; cook 1 minute more. (Relish should be chunky and not too broken down, with some cranberries still intact.) Let cool completely in pan, stirring a few times, before serving. Relish can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.
