Prep Time: 15 minutes | Yield: 2 1/4 cups

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) bottle lambic beer
  • 1 (12 ounce) package fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/4 cup finely diced crystallized ginger
  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • Directions

    1. To make this cranbeery relish, in a deep 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the lambic to a boil.
    2. Add the cranberries, ginger, and sugar.
    3. Adjust the heat so the mixture simmers and stir to dissolve the sugar.
    4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop open, about 10 minutes.
    5. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
    6. Refrigerate in a covered jar or container until ready to serve. (The cranberry relish can be made up to 10 days in advance.)

    I usually go for red onions over white or yellow for these thin, crispy, beer-battered onion rings. I love the extra sweet-pungent wallop of acid that red onions carry. I also find that they hold their form better when heated, becoming tender-crisp instead of watery or limp. Naturally, keep some extra chilled pilsner or helles on hand for serving alongside.
