CRANBERRY FRUIT RELISH

This fruity relish requires no cooking - all you need is a blender! Cranberries, oranges, apples, and pineapple (plus some ginger and nutmeg to jazz it up) make this a great change of pace from the usual cranberry sauce. The recipe is from Taste of Home's 2005 Holiday Recipe collection. I haven't tried it yet, but when I make it, I'm going to reduce the sugar. Cook time is chill time.
