SPICY RED PEPPER CRANBERRY RELISH
A kicky condiment, usually made with cranberries, can offset the neutral (read: bland) yet rich nature of the Thanksgiving meal. This hot red-pepper cranberry relish with jalapeños and cayenne fits the bill. You can keep the seasoning somewhat tame, or ramp up the heat to taste. It will keep for 2 weeks or so; make it in advance, as soon as cranberries are available, and have it on hand in the fridge through the holiday season.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are the best choice for making cranberry relish because they are tart and have a good texture. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they may be a little softer.
- Chop the cranberries coarsely. Do not puree or finely chop the cranberries, as this will make the relish too mushy. A coarse chop will give the relish a nice texture.
- Use a variety of spices. The spices used in cranberry relish can vary depending on your personal preference. Some common spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
- Add some sweetness. Cranberry relish is typically sweetened with sugar or honey. The amount of sweetness you add is up to you.
- Let the relish sit for a few hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. With its tart and tangy flavor, cranberry relish is a great way to add a pop of flavor to your favorite dishes.
