Wink Cranberry Relish To Relish...

Hey Butch! Sorry, Brenda, I saw someone post calling you Butch -- from Bhutch I guess. You are so not Butch Babe! Any way just accidentally caught your request for CRANBERRY RELISH. My pleasure...

Buy fresh cranberries -- 4 12-oz packages in November, at their sweetest. You can freeze for future.

3 darkest red apples you can find -- cut up, slice and core -- THEN chop
1 yellow/slightly pink apple -- cut up, slice and core -- THEN chop
2L navel oranges -- remove pits -- THEN chop (reserve 1/8 peel for chopping)
4 dark tangerines -- remove pits -- THEN chop
4 12-oz pkgs cranberries -- wash and rinse in colander -- remove stems -- THEN chop
Add 3 cups of sugar

STIR ALL TOGETHER and REFRIGERATE.
I pour in to plastic containers w/tight lids.
Best made in advance -- allowing favors to comingle.

Every year at least one dghtr and niece calls me for recipe. Lost last yr's...
BIG FAVORITE. Good for over a wk...
Serves 20+.

As every good *cook* knows -- always had love!
Andi
