Cranberry and Raspberry Relish

Debloves2cook's Note:

A Co-Worker brought this to a pot luck years ago, she gave me the recipe and it has become a requested family favorite ever since. A tasty twist on an old standard. This can be made a day ahead, but at least 3 1/2 hours ahead for proper chilling. Hence, cook time is chill time.
