Weller Family Cranberry Relish
How To Make Cranberry Relish

Ben Weller, my son-in-law, makes this wonderful family recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.

He uses the traditional method of grinding with an old hand-crank grinder. His mother, Joan Weller, told me (in confidence) that you don't really need to use a food grinder (you can use a food processor).  It was her way of keeping her son busy and out of the way when she was fixing the holiday dinner.

Weller Family Cranberry Relish

2 oranges, unpeeled and sliced into 8 pieces
1 (2-pound) package fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar

Feed the oranges and cranberries through meat grinder (use small grate). NOTE: If you are careful, you can use your food processor, be do not over grind.

In a medium bowl, combine ground oranges, ground cranberries, and sugar. Sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top. Cover and refrigerator for at least one day (the longer you refrigerate, the better the taste).

TIP: We now update this recipe by adding 2 to 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or Triple Sec.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
