The Relish that's Better than Cranberry Sauce

Call it a Thanksgiving tragedy if you will, but I never remember have cranberry sauce at the Thanksgiving table. Even after experiencing "pure" cranberry sauce (both the jellied and the whole fruit version), I still prefer my family's 5-Fruit Relish.

Whether you don't like cranberry sauce or are just in the mood to switch things up, definitely give this a try!

5 Fruit Relish

Ingredients

• 2 large oranges

• 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks (drained)

• 16 ounce can of pear halves (drained)

• 12 ounce package of whole fresh cranberries

• 1 cup dark seedless raisins

• 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

1. Cut each unpeeled orange into 8 sections - discard seeds. Cut pineapple and pears into 1/2 inch pieces

2. In a blender, oranges and cranberries until coarsely chopped. Work in batches if necessary. Pour into large bowl.

3. Stir in raisins, sugar, pineapples, and pears. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

I know it may seem a little weird to leave the oranges unpeeled, but the punch of flavor from that zest is just too good to pass up! Plus, the fiber is good for you.
