I was hesitant to try this because I was unsure of the flavor. Oh my... it became one of my kid's favorite.

The cranberry apple relish is the star of this dish. We could eat it off a cracker on its own. It's tart, sweet, and lightly spiced with the cinnamon and there's a delightful crunch from the walnuts. Simply superb! We taste-tested it with pork chops, but turkey or chicken breasts would be great with it too.
