Moms Cranberry Relish Recipes

CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Remove any seeds from orange (if there are any) and place in food processor fitted with steel blade attachment. Process until chopped into pieces no larger than a pea. Add cranberries and pulse until the cranberries are finely chopped.
• Whisk raspberry jam in a medium bowl to loosen. Add cranberry mixture and sugar and stir thoroughly until the jam is incorporated and the sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until serving.

MOM'S THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• 1. 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.
