CRANBERRY AND RED ONION RELISH
This is a fantastic relish to serve with Turkey or other meats, or as everyone I work with believes with a sharp cheese on crackers. This Relish is so yummy that it vanishes out of my work fridge faster than I can make it. I first made it last year for Christmas hampers and have had constant requests since.
