I’m getting the ingredients tomorrow
Do you like cooked fresh cranberry sauce or raw relish? Or neither? Or both? Or the slices of Cranberry Jelly from a can?
Here’s the 2011 post
ONCE A YEAR RECIPE/RITUAL
The annual making of the cranberry-orange relish. I don’t make this any other time of year.I’ve heard lots of different renditions of cranberries and everyone has their favorite. My mother used to use a metal meat grinder and screw it onto a table or chair with a woven potholder to keep the wood from being marred. Her recipe was strictly cranberries and navel orange. I add a Granny Smith and today a HoneyCrisp as well. I used to have one of those grinders and ground relish with Mark when he was a boy in the same manner as my mother. My friend J from Omaha gave me her MagiMix French Processor when she got a Cuisinart. That was more than 25 years ago and it still works. It has a European plug so I have to keep a little extra piece to plug it in. So two bags of cranberries, washed and drained, two oranges, two apples(peel on) 1 3/4 C sugar.
That is all there is to it. Refreshing and tart and sweet simultaneously. And thanks to Susan K for the Turkey towels. Very festive.
Happy Thanksgiving. I will put the bowl in a cardboard box so it doesn’t spill and drive to dinner at the other Grandma’s.
I prefer raw cranberry and orange relish. The apples sound like a lovely addition. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Tasted both. Prefer cooked
I prefer cooked – my go to is the recipe on the back of the cranberry bag.
I like cooked, raw, and jellied. And cranberries added to apple pie and cranberry nut bread (in the oven right now). I also like cranberry juice plain, with seltzer or in a cape codder. In other words, I love cranberries!
Cooked, for sure. But just 1 bite – that’s all I need. 🙂
