Holiday Cranberry Tip

Don't let cranberry sauce/relish scare you!  It takes 10 minutes to be a "homemade gourmet" instead of popping open a can.  Buy one large bag fresh cranberries, dump them into a gallon pot, add 1 cup of sugar, and stir over medium low heat until they start to release juices and melt the sugar.  Cover the pot and reduce to low and let them go for 5 minutes.  Stir, and continue cooking without lid til reduced and thick. Serve either warm or cold!  DONE!!!!  If you want to go really crazy, dice an apple and throw it in and call it "Cranberry Apple Relish" - no need to peel; let's not throw away the fiber!  -Lula
