Cranberry Relish

"This is a great cranberry relish for all turkey dishes and turkey sandwiches, and a tasty alternative to a more traditional cranberry sauce. The relish consists of raw cranberries, apples, and an orange, all put through a grinder with sugar added to macerate. The resulting relish is truly delicious."

2 cups washed raw cranberries
2 skinned and cored apples
1 large seedless orange
2 cups sugar

Run fruit through a grinder (Very Important to use an old fashioned grinder) medium sized blade. Add sugar. Let sit at room temperature until sugar dissolves.
