Fresh Cranberry Sauce (Relish)

Submitted by OtakuGirl

"This is a cranberry relish my Mom has made every Thanksgiving. I never liked any sort of cranberry sauce until I tried hers! Now it's a must-have and goes amazingly well with turkey! Feel free to play with the amount of sugar and orange juice for taste and consistency!"

This is runny because of the orange juice, I never add OJ to this recipe and I only use one sweet red or pink apple.

This is similar to a recipe that I had made some time ago, and I wanted to make it again. This time, though, the recipe turned into a smoothie. This was very runny. I may not have added enough apple or orange, because I used 1/2 of a very large apple and 4 clementines. I am going to add some more cranberries, apple and orange, and see if I can get it to a thicker consistency. Maybe I should not have added all of the orange juice. I am not sure exactly what went wrong, but I will try this one again. Thank you, Otakugirl.
