This is a recipe I rate very highly indeed....
It's superb with the roast Turkey on Christmas Day, and just as superb with cold meats thereafter.
Put 500g fresh cranberries in a non-reactive pan with 150g light muscovado sugar and grate in a 2cm cube of fresh ginger. Break a cinnamon stick into 2 pieces and add to the pan followed by 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Heat slowly, stirring continuously until the sugar has dissolved completely, then simmer for five minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, or another orange-flavoured liqueur, and turn the mixture into a serving bowl or jar. Cover and allow the relish to cool completely before using. This will keep for a week if stored in the fridge.
It's quite a 'tart' kind of relish when you taste it on it's own, but WITH cold meats, stuffings, etc. it really is fabulous.
And be 'generous' with the liqueur (!!)
Hope you enjoy it.
Merry Christmas,
Wellie

Trousers is doing his moorish Chicken Liver Pate with an Oxford Sauce and Melba Toast....
and I'm doing the Cranberry Relish and the Bread Sauce, and the entire rest of the Christmas Dinner is in the hands of the lovely Piglets.
I think there's a Turkey in there somewhere amongst all the other delicious things on the menu!!

Awwww thank you Piglet but I wasn't fishing (well, only in my dreams anyway!). I'm supposed to be providing the Christmas feast here myself, so I'm just indulging in fantasies of how much tastier things are going to be Chez Piglet/tes.
Have a lovely day!

Remind me what it stands for again, and I'll cue her up to have a second pop at you on New Years' Eve...! Did she draw blood?
