My Favorite Cranberry Relish
Diana Holland Faust

My favorite cranberry sauce is an uncooked relish.  I love it's fresh, crisp, cool, tangy taste.  It is such a welcome contrast on a plate of turkey, gravy, stuffing, and mashed potato.   

Chop or grind 4 cups fresh cranberries.  Put into a bowl. 
Grind one whole orange.  (Remove seeds and some of the white membrane first, if desired.)
Add orange to cranberries in bowl.
Stir 1.5 to 2 cups sugar into cranberries, depending on amount of sweetness desired.
Stir 1 cup of broken pecan pieces into cranberries.

Cover and place in refrigerator.  Let ripen for 1-2 days before using.  
Can be kept in refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.

Hint:  make extra because you will want to have plenty of this left over.  It's wonderful on toast, English muffins, beagles.
