Cranberry Relish Two-Ways
The holiday season is here. Guess what that means? We need some cranberry relish to compliment our delicious meals.
It’s time to feel nostalgic. Since I can remember, I’ve enjoyed this recipe with all my holiday meals. It’s actually my Grandma’s recipe but I added a few additions. That’s why you have two different ways to enjoy cranberry relish with your dinner. She made the recipe every year and I devoured it because it’s so so good. When I moved away, she made sure to give me all the secrets. It was like I had a little piece of home even thousands of miles away.
Since I love everything cranberry. You’ll find a few unique cranberry recipes in some of the Man Card Series.
My Gingerbread Man (Man Card Book 13) you’ll make Gingerbread Sweet Rolls with Cranberry Compote right alongside Aiden and Cora.
In Her Snickerdoodle (Man Card Book 14) you’ll make a special rugelach recipe that includes cranberry.
