I love cranberry. There is just something about it’s tangy sharpness that I find delicious. To me jellied cranberry sauce takes the tang and overpowers it with sugar–I prefer the simpler, more tart Classic Cranberry Relish with my turkey!
After the Thanksgiving dinner is over, your leftover relish can be used in Pie Bites or folded some into a basic muffin batter.
