CRANBERRY APPLE RELISH



Cranberry Apple Relish image

I got this recipe a good 20 years ago from a woman I worked with. I've been making it at holiday time ever since because, 1) the simmering spices make for a symphony of aroma that takes me back to my favorite spot in grandma's kitchen, and 2) with my arthritis, it's a simple, tart-y way for me to say, "you're special." Hope you enjoy the making, smelling and giving away..

Tips:

  • Wash the cranberries and apples thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice the apples. This will help to prevent them from browning.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the apples and cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely.
  • Be careful not to overcook the relish. Overcooked relish will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Taste the relish before you serve it. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.

Conclusion:
