This is the recipe I used last year for the holidays and it was a great hit. The orange liqueur adds a subtle hint to the relish.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Loved this easy recipe that is packed with tons of great orange and cranberry flavor! The Grand Marnier is a beautiful accent-- I did add a wee bit more 'cuz we love it! Also added a few dashes of cinnamon. Thanks Desert Rose, for sharing this winner!
