Fresh Cranberry Relish or Salad

So much better than cranberries from a can! Has a little zip (Grand Marnier or Congnac). Make at least a day ahead to best enhance the flavors. I got this recipe from Larry Benfield after Thanksgiving one year in the 1980's. Reading his original the oranges were UNPEELED. I have always peeled them.
