The Condiment Aisle: Cranberry Sauce, Relishes, Chutneys....
Front-Ranger:
I made Mama Stamberg's cranberry relish last night, since today my kitchen is scheduled to be demolished and granite countertops installed!

'Nother good raw cranberry relish recipe is Mama Stamberg's, which Susan Stamberg always discusses on NPR 'round Thanksgiving. It contains the cranberries, onion, and sugar and also throws in horseradish and sour cream. I love it, but some guests turn their noses up at it...can't imagine why!!
So, I've made the relish which is mellowing in the fridge, and now I'm going to make the Cumberland sauce!! Break out the port!!

Cranberry.....yup it's that time of year again!
Front-Ranger:
Christmas is coming! My mother has persuaded me to try a new cranberry relish recipe. This one's for roasted cranberries with orange and onion. I'll let you know if it's any good! I imagine it smells wonderful while it's cooking.
(I'm cheating and saving some cranberries back for the usual uncooked cranberry relish. Shhh...don't tell mom!)
CellarDweller:
LOL! Ok, "mums" the word!

I decided to make a different condiment this year. After many years in a row of making my usual fresh cranberry-orange-ginger relish, I made a cranberry chutney this year.
Cranberry Chutney
This recipe is adapted from one by Jacques Pépin.
Boil two bags of washed and picked over cranberries in 8 oz pomegranate juice. (Can use cranberry or orange juice or even water.)
Boil till they burst.
Add two chopped granny smith apples (skin on)
Add about 1/4 cup brown sugar (can use more if desired)
Add the zest of two lemons. Discard the white pith and slice the lemon flesh and add that.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional, but adds nice heat)
Add a good chunk of ginger, minced
Finally, add a couple tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
Let simmer until thick.
This was a big hit at my college gang's 33rd annual pre-Thanksgiving last weekend.
