Cranberry-Orange Relish

I sat down late in October and jotted down my menu for thanksgiving.  Then I made a list of ingredients that I could buy ahead of time, so I could watch the sales and get the best prices.  This got me to thinking about my family's favorite Thanksgiving Day recipes.  I thought I would share a few with you and maybe inspire you to think ahead to the holidays a bit!

Here's a recipe for Cranberry-Orange Relish.  I got this out of a magazine years ago and quickly adopted it as my own.  I love the citrus flavor it has, and with 4 ingredients, it couldn't be simpler.



 Cranberry-Orange Relish

12 oz fresh cranberries, picked over and washed
1 1/2 C sugar
1/3 C OJ
1 T orange zest

Cook the first 3 ingredients in a sauce pan over med. heat until most of the berries have popped.  This usually takes about 10 minutes (stir frequently).

Stir in zest and let cool.
