I don’t know about you but one of my favorite dishes to have on Thanksgiving is Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce and I like the whole Cranberry Sauce not the Berries like my grandmother would serve when we would eat at her home.
David is the same way I am. As for Charlie he doesn’t like any kind of Cranberry Sauce because he doesn’t know what’s good. As a child I remember my grandmother using the Cranberry Sauce as Jelly on her Biscuits and before you ask yes, I’ve done it to.
I wanted to let you know November 22nd is National Cranberry Relish Day #CranberryRelishDay a #Holiday I will pass on. If your #Homeschooling your children get them into the kitchen and let them make Homemade Cranberry Relish. I’ve shared a recipe you can use below:
Cranberry Relish Recipe
Key Ingredients
- Fresh cranberries – the star of the dish, tart and vibrant
- Orange – adds citrusy sweetness and zest
- Apple – balances tartness with natural sugar
- Granulated sugar – enhances flavor and preserves freshness
🍊 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Pulse cranberries in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
- Chop apple finely and add to the cranberries.
- Chop orange (including peel for extra zest) and add to the mix.
- Stir in sugar until well combined.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days) before serving.
🌟 Serving Ideas
- Pair with roast turkey or ham for a classic holiday side.
- Spread on sandwiches with leftover turkey.
- Use as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal for a festive breakfast.
- Mix into cream cheese for a quick party dip.
This relish is bright, tangy, and refreshing, making it a standout addition to any Thanksgiving or Christmas table.
Now I would like to ask you a question. Would you like me to also share a no-cook version that’s even faster to prepare? If so leave me a comment and I will get to work on it asap.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
