SWEET & TART CRANBERRY RELISH
This is the only cranberry relish my kids will eat. It can be made up to one week ahead of time, and I personally think it gets better after it sits for a day or two. If you have leftovers after a big meal, spoon it over turkey sandwiches the next day.-Sheila Tate, Hartselle, Alabama

FRESH SWEET CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH A TWIST
I've been making these cranberries for nearly 30 years. It's the first thing I prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I make them the weekend before so they have lots of time to sit and have even better flavor! I hollow out fresh oranges for serving cups. Makes a beautiful presentation and I use the orange segments in my turkey brine. Cut the oranges in a zig-zag pattern around the center to make it even more holiday special! Make ahead several days before serving for best flavor. I suppose they could be served warm as well, but I find the coolness of the berries is a nice contrast with the other hot foods in the meal. You can use 2 to 3 cinnamon sticks in place of ground cinnamon, which will yield a lighter color.

Steps:
- Place 1/2 cup of the water in a blender jar. Cut the orange and lemon into eighths, keeping the peel but removing all seeds.
- Blend half the orange and lemon pieces for 10 seconds. Add half the cranberries and blend just until the mixture is a coarse chop. Place in a saucepan. Repeat with the remaining water, orange and lemon wedges, and cranberries, and add the mixture to the pan.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves to the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the flavors blend. Cool to room temperature and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that is perfect for relish. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them before using.
- Chop the cranberries coarsely. This will help the relish to retain its texture.
- Add some sweetness. Sugar, honey, or maple syrup are all good options. You can also use a combination of sweeteners.
- Add some tartness. Lemon juice or vinegar are both good options. You can also use a combination of tart ingredients.
- Add some spices. Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger are all good options. You can also use a combination of spices.
- Chill the relish before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. Whether you are making it for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, cranberry relish is sure to be a hit.
