No Cooking Recipe…

Cranberry-Orange Relish

4 cups (1-lb.) Ocean Spray Fresh Cranberries
2 oranges, quartered (seeds removed)
2 cups sugar

Put cranberries and oranges (including the rind) through food grinder (coarse blade). Stir in the sugar and chill. Makes 2 pints. Keeps well for weeks stored in the refrigerator.

Delightful Variations…

Use cored apple and 1/3 of a lemon instead of the oranges.

…or, sweeten the cranberry-orange mixture with honey; 1 cupful in place of the sugar will be enough.

…or, a wonderful cranberry jellied salad: dissolve 1 package cherry-flavored gelatin in 1 1/4 cups boiling water. Chill until partially set. Fold 2 cups of the cranberry-orange relish into the partially set gelatin. Pour into 1-qt. mold, or six to eight individual molds. Chill until firm.

Calendar Note: September through December is “Fresh Cranberry Time”
