I was looking on the internet for an easy cranberry jelly recipe and found this.....added a few extra ingrediants and it is GOOD to have with Tukey/Chicken/Ham
I did not add the liquore but several posters on the recipe board stated they did with good results

1 12 oz pkg fresh cranberries
1 orange (I used 2 seedless Clementines)
1/2 cup of walnuts
3/4-1 cup of sugar (could use sugar substitute)
2 ounces Orange Liquore (Countreau/Grand Marnier) optional

Put washed, drained cranberries in a food processor with 1 orange which has been peeled (use the peel in the food processor) and quartered with all seeds being removed.
Pulse for a few seconds, just until coarsely chopped. Stop and scrape down sides of bowl, if necessary, to chop evenly.
Remove from food processor
Add walnuts to processor and pulse
Add to cranberry/orange mix

Add 3/4 to 1 cup of sugar and taste adjusting sweetness as desired.

Stir well, add optional liquore to taste and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Cranberry Orange Relish may be frozen for up to 2 months.

Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

This brings back some nice memories. My mother made this all the time, except without the liquor - she gave jars away to teachers and friends and I remember everyone loving "her" relish so much.
This was 50 years ago, no food processor, just a simple clamp on to the table edge grinder.
I've been thinking of making it for a long time, this should spur me on to actually do it....
