Cranberry Relish
Take the 1/2 bag cranberries and put in small sauce pan with the sugar and the 1/2 can pineapple. Heat to medium and stir while it comes to a boil. Allow to boil until all the cranberries have poped and mask lightly. Add the nutmeg when it thickens. Take off stove and add nuts.. Place in nice serving dish and allow to sit in fridge over night. - NOTE:
wash and check each cranberry for firmness and spoilage before starting these recipes.
Total time for both recipes takes about 20 minutes plus the chopping from 4 hours earlier.
And the best part it is completed the night before so there is less to think of the day of Thanksgiving or Christmas
