Grandma Jo’s Cranberry Relish
Easy, wonderful, a delicious alternative to the traditional can-shaped cranberry sauce. – Enjoy!


2 cans of WHOLE berry cranberry sauce (like Ocean Spray)
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons chopped orange rind (try to include just the colored rind, not the bitter white pith)
1 cup cut up apple
1 8-ounce can unsweetened pineapple chunks; each cut in half
1/2 cup small orange chunks (no membrane – see below**) or mandarin orange pieces - drained

1.Combine all ingredients except nuts
2.Let sit for at least 4 hours to meld flavors
3.Add nuts right before serving

**To separate the orange flesh from the membrane, first cut a small bit of the top and bottom of the orange (so it will stand up). Then, take a sharp knife and cut off the rind by cutting downward around the orange. Lastly, take a sharp knife and cut each section of orange away from the membrane.

Makes approximately 13 ½-cup servings
