Basic Cranberry Relish

Now I know that it isn't even Halloween yet but we all know how quickly time flies and it will be Thanksgiving before we know it and then Christmas.  Can that mean that spring is right around the corner??  Who am I kidding, I live in Chicago and have my whole life.  At any rate, we can enjoy cranberries during the holidays and here is a basic cranberry relish recipe and some nice twists on it as well.

1 1/2 C. sugar
5 to 6 tbsp. orange juice
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. grated orange peel
1 12oz. bag cranberries

Bring sugar, orange juice, lemon juice and orange peel to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently.  Add cranberries, cook 4 to 6 minutes or until cranberries start to split and soften.  With slotted spoon, put cranberries in a medium bowl.

Increase the heat to medium high; boil juices 6 to 8 minutes or until syrupy and reduced to 3/4 C. stirring frequently.  Pour over cranberries; cool completely.  Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
