I bought a bag of cranberries today, soon to become cranberry relish for Thanksgiving dinner. The relish recipe below is tart and orangey with just a touch of spicy heat from the crystallized ginger. It's the perfect fresh foil for the rich mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing we will soon be enjoying.
I have much to be thankful for. I hope you do, too. Happy Thanksgiving!

Great cranberries! I grew up on cranberry-orange relish, but never thought of adding crystallized ginger -- thanks for the idea.
Yum!
These cranberries look very tasty. Very vibrant colors!
Yum! This sounds delicious and it's perfect timing. The painting is lovely too. I was thinking what a nice hostess gift it would be to have a little print of it with the recipe on the back tied to a jar of the relish....
Your recipe is similar to mine (put a bag of cranberries and an orange in a blender), but it has the addition of ginger. I love ginger! This year we'll be away at the beach, ignoring Thanksgiving, but I wish you a happy day. Your painting is as fresh as the recipe!
Wonderful colors. I'll have to give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Simple, beautiful and delicious....the color is perfect.
Your relish is deep and rich and bursting with energy - VERY Nice, and thanks for the recipe - Happy Thankgiving!
Oh my, that looks absolutely yummy!
I love those shadows and the use of that very bright blue is gorgeous.
What fresh, vibrant colors! This is lovely.
I love cranberry sauce, and your recipe sounds divine. And your painting is really yummy!
Yum - sounds delicious. And probably loaded with vitamins too. I love the way you've illustrate the recipe. Thanksgiving is one of the things I miss the most about the US - it really brightens up a gray month - but they don't do it hear in France. Have a very happy one.
I have to run back out to the store today so I just need the crystallized ginger. Your painting is beautiful! I am having so much fun looking at all the art work on my new imac screen...I was missing so much working on my little laptop screen! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
The light and glow in your painting is wonderful! Nice composition too!
Lovely sketch with the cranberries. They look so vibrant and healthy. I love them and the new trendy dried ones go into my salads every time. Thanks for the recipe...I always enjoy seeing a recipe from you here.

Lovely sketch, Sharon! Thanks for the recipe....sounds like it would be very tasty ~ :)
Fabulous painting to go with a great recipe!
How do you keep your paintings looking so crisp and fresh??
I made it for Thanksgiving. It was so yummy! And made enough that we are still enjoying it! Thanks again!
