Ocean Spray Fresh Cranberry Orange Relish

Bonnie Young's Note:

This is a very refreshing recipe I have used for years. It comes from the bag of Ocean Spray Cranberries bought in the grocery store. This time of year cranberries are plentiful where I live (in fact I have a huge bag 21 pounds in the refrigerator) so right now I try to give new recipes a try before the fresh ones have to go into the freezer. Give it a try it goes great with your Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

• 3/4-1 cup sugar (or eqivalent artificial sweetener)

Directions:

1. Slice unpeeled orange into eighths and remove any seeds. Place half of the cranberries and half of the orange in food processor. Pulse until evenly chopped. Tranfer to a bowl and repeat with the other half of orange and cranberries. Stir in sugar to taste and store in refrigerator of freezer.
2. You can also use a food grinder for the food processor step. The grinder is my preferred method, becaue that's how my Mom made it so many many years ago.

I love this recipe. For me Thanksgiving or Christmas Meals are not complete without it!
I grew up with it as my one of my Moms regular Holiday dishes... I always remembered her complaining about how long it took to make! Well Mom did not have a Cuisinart Food Processor, only an old style blender with a "Chopping/Grinder" attachment you put on it... When I grew up and wanted to make it on my own and asked her for the recipe. She said its on the back of the Ocean Spray Cranberries... So I bought some, read them and realized that before "Food Processors," this would have been a big deal to make, Now I can do 3 batches all at once in 20 minutes or so. As an interesting addition, I now often add a little Tobasco sauce to it to give it just a hint of heat kick to the sweet! Enjoy!
