Fresh Cranberry Relish - A Low Fat Meat Topping Alternative

                                                                                   Cranberry Relish

Ingredients:

1.5 Cup Fresh Cranberries

1 Navel Orange

2 peeled apples

¼ cup – 1 cup sugar

Directions:

Place all the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until you reach a slightly ground  “chunky” consistency.  Try adding a little lemon to the apples to avoid browning and add a nice zing. Add the sugar to your preference.  Less sugar will provide a more tart product versus sweet.  Instead of sugar you may find adding additional fruit can help cut the cranberry bite. **I tried this recipe with 1/4C of sugar and this was just enough for me.  Try the lowest amount and add as needed.**
