Orange Zest Cranberry Relish

Fall Harvest Orange Zest Cranberry Relish 

I will be the first to admit when I was younger I hated cranberries. They looked great but I just wasn’t all that in to them ever. I won’t lie I grew up with the circular can of cranberries, we sliced them up, served it on a plate and called it a side dish. I have since learned that cranberries can taste better than this. Now that I am a bit older I decided I wanted to try to make them myself.  Since I love to cook, I decided to take on my own cranberry relish creation. It is a perfect combination of tangy cranberries and sweet orange flavors. Perfect for your upcoming fall dinners.
