Cranberry Relish
No Thanksgiving feast is complete without the delightfully tart cranberry making its annual appearance. Whether you prefer yours jellied, juiced or otherwise, this colorful relish will satisfy your craving for its sweet yet sharp flavors. This no-cook dish is beautifully balanced with the subtlety of oranges and cloves and deepened with a touch of brown sugar and honey. The recipe was passed down to me and originally made by my great grandmother. I'm certain this accompaniment will become a staple at your holiday gatherings, just like it has ours. Enjoy! ~April

After giving thanks everyone dug in and plates were passed around. My husband to-be hands me a crystal bowl with a very colorful jellied something in it...
