Cranberry Relish

The Granny Smith apples make this relish really sour. If you aren’t fond of tart dishes, might want to either add 1/4 cup of sugar or leave out the apples. 

Ingredients

1 3-oz. box Cherry Jell-O
1 medium sized peeled and finely diced Granny Smith apple (optional)
1 can cranberry sauce with whole cranberries
1/2 cup crushed pineapple
1 can mandarin oranges
1 cups chopped pecans
Water

Drain crushed pineapple, and mandarin oranges, reserving juice. Add enough water to the juice
to equal 1 cup. Pour juice mixture into sauce pan and add Jell-O mix; heat on low and stir until
Jell-O is dissolved.

Fill your sink with about 1-2 inches of cold water, then dump in some ice and or ice packs to
make an ice bath. Set pan of cranberry mixture into ice bath, being very careful to not dump the
contents of the pan into the water!

Add in cranberry sauce and stir until that cranberry jelly stuff melts. Add in
remaining ingredients – apples, pineapple, mandarin oranges, and crushed
pecans – stirring to mix.

Let the pan sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens and all of the
ingredients don’t sink to the bottom of the pan, stirring occasionally. Remove from sink, pour
into storage container, and store in fridge.
