Mom's Cranberry Relish

Because I'm thinking about it, and am too tired about what to post, I thought I'd post my Mom's recipe for cranberry relish.

Ingredients:

• A bag or two of raw, whole cranberries.
• Apples. One or two per bag of berries, depending on size.
• Oranges. Maybe one per two bags.

Chop everything up coarsely in a food processor. Even better, if you can find it, is an old-fashioned hand-cranked meat grinder, because that mashes the ingredients rather than simply cutting them.

Put it in the fridge overnight. The next day, add sugar if it seems to be necessary -- don't do it before then because the flavors won't have blended.

I have no idea where Mom found the recipe, and I don't think I've ever seen an "official" printed version -- it's all seat-of-the-pants. Colleen and I have been making it for the last forty-odd years.

Enjoy.
