Cranberry Relish

This is the only way I've ever known cranberries "sauce" at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Growing up I'd never met anyone who ate anything like this, it was always canned cranberry sauce.  Until I met my husband and his family has a very similar recipe. I love how fresh this recipe is and it pairs perfectly with the Thanksgiving dishes, we also serve at Christmas

Cranberry Relish
4 large orange quartered, seeded (leave skin on)
2 bags fresh cranberries
5 Tbsp brown sugar 
2 tsp cinnamon
4 lg apple (I like granny smith)
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp nutmeg

Put orange, cranberries, & apple into food processor (you want it the consistency of a pickle relish). I use my KitchenAid mixer with the sausage attachment medium grind. 
Stir in remaining ingredients, cover and refrigerate overnight.
