Each year they have spent Thanksgiving with us, a friend brings a beautiful pedestal bowl with the most delicious cranberry relish. The flavors are bright, with tart and sweet balanced by nutty goodness.

After a few years of asking for the recipe I finally got it...well, I got the list of ingredients and the method which means a bit of experimentation is needed to get it just the way she makes it.

So I am sharing it with you my friends in the event you would like to try it this holiday season. The colors are fantastic and it makes a very nice hostess from-the-heart gift.

Cooked cranberries (don't let them cook to a jelly state-follow package directions using sugar!)

Walnuts

Fresh ginger

Orange peel

Grapefruit or pineapple or both

Strawberries

Raisins (any color)

Fresh nutmeg

Clementines to garnish

Add one at a time to food processor. That's it.
