Cranberry Relish | Recipe

Use this relish as a topper for baked brie, a relish for sandwiches, preserves for scones or serve it alongside roasted turkey and stuffing on your Thanksgiving table.

Before I took a turn at creating cranberry relish from scratch, I was sure it was going to be an intimidating and labor intensive task. I mean, how in the ever-living world was I going to get it to gelatinize and stand in alone in the shape of a can? Of course, I jest. The whole point of making it from scratch was to avoid gelatinized rings of cranberry at the table, no matter how reminiscent of my childhood that may be. Surprisingly, I don't know that is gets more simple. It is an easy matter of combining ingredients in a saucepan, stirring and allowing them to reduce together. A little zesting here and there, but no chopping and little-to-no prep is required. The end result is a far superior a bright and lovely sauce, worthy of sitting alongside your Thanksgiving turkey. Enjoy.

1 cup Granulated Sugar

1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar
