Cranberry Apple Relish

This is a nice variation on the usual relish. The basic sweetness comes from the apples, so don't go for a tart apple. Leftovers are great mixed into cereal.

• 3/4 cup fresh cranberries
• 3/4 cup currants
• 6 cups sweet apples in 1/2 inch dice
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

METHOD

Chop cranberries roughly. Put in medium saucepan with 1/2 cup water and the currants. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Cook cranberries, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in apples. Cook, covered, over low heat for 5 minutes to soften apples. When soft, raise heat to medium high, add sugar, and cook for 4 - 5 inutes more, or until apples are very soft. Remove from heat.

Lightly mash apple and cranberry mix with a pastry cutter. Stir in walnuts.

Yield: About 4 cups

Caroline does not peel the apples, but you may if you want a smoother relish.
