MOM'S THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY RELISH



Mom's Thanksgiving Cranberry Relish image

This is one of my mom's age old recipes. It was always on our holiday table. When it's ready to eat, you just put a little on the side of your plate and eat it the way it is.

Provided by Robyn Bruce @Robyn1757

Categories     Fruit Sides

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 package(s) whole fresh cranberries (i think they come in 16 oz. packages)
1 - whole fresh lemon
1 - whole fresh orange
2 cup(s) sugar

Steps:

  • Using a grinder or a food processor, (not a blender) grind the cranberries and alternate with chunks of orange and lemon, including the rinds. Add sugar to the mixture. Mix well. This is best if made about 2 days ahead of time and kept refrigerated. (Gives the flavors time to blend well!) **Mom says that a grinder works best, but you can use a food processor (just pulse it) if you take care not to let it turn to mush. The idea is to have a coarse "relish" consistency. This recipe is not only delicious, but really looks pretty.

MAMA'S CRANBERRY RELISH RECIPE

Provided by DWatkins23

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb cranberries
1 orange
2 c sugar
3 apples

Steps:

  • Grind all ingredients and add sugar. (Editor's Note: No cooking is required, however, it should be made ahead and refrigerated so that the flavors can meld together. At least 2 hours. You could simply chop the ingredients in a cuisinart. Mama had an old school grinder (meat style grinder) that she used. Based on other recipes. I think you should peel the orange separate the pith and discard. It's ok to use the zest of the orange and the inside. I would also remove the seeds and membrane from the orange. remove core and stem from apples.)
