Cranberry relish is such a holiday tradition that many holiday tables would feel naked without it

To google, a recipe reveals a near cult-like following for Ocean Spray's back-of-the-bag classic, with comments from those that have been making it for decades

Kala brought her version to December's Holiday Traditions food swap.  In so many ways it encompassed the spirit of the swap, a traditional dish with a grown-up twist.  We loved it.

The flavors are bright and crisp.  A not-too-sweet combination of tart, along with crunch.  Not only did the vibrant colors look amazing on our plate, but we loved how flavorful and versatile the relish was

On the accompanying note, Kala mentioned it was great with Greek yogurt, and she was right.

We also ate ours for lunch in a wrap with left-over turkey, and for breakfast as a topping with whole wheat greek yogurt pancakes

A friend gave me the idea of stirring it into a basic muffin recipe to make a cranberry orange muffin.  I bet it would be great

Now that we've officially broken from tradition, I think we'll try a cran-raspberry or cran-blueberry version since nobody's bossing us around about how many different kinds of cranberry one can have at their Thanksgiving table.

Enjoy!
