Cranberry Pear Relish
Somehow my small group’s Thanksgiving feast happened to fall on a crazy-busy workday this year, leaving me pretty much zero time for any prep on my dinner contribution.
But not to fear!
Dum dah dum…

A colorful, delicious, and creative twist on cranberry relish is ready in minutes. And, it’s also perfect for leftovers on turkey sandwiches! Definitely a yummy and speedy recipe to bookmark.

Yum! That looks great. But I’m having a mental block this morning. Besides turkey sandwiches, what would this accompany? Regardless, I might go pick up a pear and an orange (already have the cranberries and pecans!) and experiment. :)
Yum! This sounds like a perfect alternative to cranberry sauce. I love the addition of pecans!
This looks/sounds great (and so easy)!
