The Best Cranberry Relish Ever
Cranberry Apple Relish the Whole Family will Love
I have never been a huge fan of the canned cranberry relish that so many people cherish. That’s ok, though, I am married to a man who loves it, so we always have it on the Thanksgiving table. However, when this recipe entered our family tradition years ago, I was converted. It is so delicious — tart and sweet and spicy. And it isn’t just good with turkey! It’s great over Greek yogurt in the morning. It’s thick enough to spread on bread like jam. It is almost a cranberry chutney, and it’s amazing on a turkey sandwich, too.
This is also a super easy recipe to make. It was one of the first holiday recipes that I made with my son when he was little. And we still make it together!
Hint: make this a day or two before you’ll serve it and just tuck it in the fridge. It will make your house smell heavenly! And it will keep for a week or so — assuming you don’t eat it all first.
