Default That awful cranberry recipe from National Public Radio

For your shock and awe:
<http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/2001/nov/cranberry/011116.stamberg.relish.html>

Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish
(Craig Claiborne, 1959)

2 cups whole raw cranberries, washed
1 small onion
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons horseradish from a jar ("red is a bit milder than white")

Grind the raw berries and onion together. ("I use an old-fashioned
meat grinder," says Stamberg. "I'm sure there's a setting on the food
processor that will give you a chunky grind -- not a puree.") Add
everything else and mix. Put in a plastic container and freeze. Early
Thanksgiving morning, move it from freezer to refrigerator
compartment to thaw. ("It should still have some little icy slivers
left.") The relish will be thick, creamy, and shocking pink. ("OK,
Pepto Bismol pink. It has a tangy taste that cuts through and perks
up the turkey and gravy. It’s also good on next-day turkey
sandwiches, and with roast beef.") Makes 1-1/2 pints.


Best regards,
Bob

Don't knock it...I have had family members & guests ask for it over
and over again. I rather like it myself, even if it does look like
Pepto.

One year I went wild with the cranberry sauce, added all the bells and
whistles in terms of spices and orange juice. Learned my lesson. Boil
the dang things with sugar, add a little salt, and you're good to go!

Wasn't trying to knock it. I've never made it, so I can't honestly
comment on it. I just have come to like the cranberry sauce simple, ha.

Yep. Good stuff. I made a batch last night, in fact. I went a little
overboard on the relishes this year; we're having 3 kinds of cranberry
and one that's blackberry-orange.

Sure. But I have to warn you, I was a bit disappointed. I expected it
to be better than it turned out. I'm still going to put it on the
table though, and let everyone else decide. It might be just me. Maybe
it just needs tweaking a little.

Regards,
Tracy R.

Orange Blackberry Relish

1 medium orange; seed, chop coarsely
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate; thawed, undiluted
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoon cornstarch
16 ounces frozen unsweetened blackberries; thawed, drained

With knife blade in food processor, add the chopped orange. Process
for 1 1/2 minutes or until finely chopped. Place chopped orange in a
medium non-aluminum saucepan. Add 2 tbsp. orange juice concentrate,
brown sugar, cornstarch [I dissolved the cornstarch in the thawed oj
concentrate before adding it] and thawed blackberries, stirring
gently. Place over medium-low heat and cook 7 minutes or until mixture
thickens, stirring constantly. Place in a medium bowl, cover, and
chill.

I made this for last year's Thanksgiving, along with Greg Morrow's
relish, and everyone liked it. Even people whose aversion to
horseradish would prevent them from walking into the kitchen if a
bottle of horseradish merely existed in the 'fridge. Greg's relish
disappeared first, though....

Thanks, Tracy. It looks good! My tweak would be adding 1/4 teaspoon
cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. If those
amounts don't do it, then I would double, but that should be enough.

Frozen blackberries can sometimes be a bit bland and need perking up.
Frozen is all I can get, too.

My grandmother always made the relish recipe on the back of
the bag. It involved grinding together cranberries, orange
and sugar. Not sure if there was anything else. All of
that is "too much work" for me. I open a can of the jellied
stuff because it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it!

My family hates cranberry in any form except juice, so my
preference rules.

I will only eat the jellied cranberries under duress, although the canned
whole cranberry sauce is acceptable. I really prefer making a cranberry
chutney.

I will only eat the jellied cranberries under duress, although the canned
whole cranberry sauce is acceptable. I really prefer making a cranberry
chutney.

I make cranberry chutney as well, and in fact, I just finished making
a batch of it. I use a Julia Child recipe, which is wonderfully
sweet-tart.

Another cranberry recipe that I really like is this one from Russ
Parsons of the LA Times. And it is really better made a few days
ahead, to let the flavors meld.

I never messed with cranberry sauce much because my mother served
the jellied kind with the can lines. I'd take like a half tsp
of it. Then I found the wonders of the orange and fresh cranberries
stuff and now I make extra. Love it. Takes no time.

I made homemade cranberry sauce from the recipe on the back of the bag
exactly once. It tasted just like canned Ocean Spray whole berry
cranberry sauce, with the bonus of costing twice as much, dirtying up
a pan and wasting my time and effort. Now I just buy the can of whole
berry sauce.

I don't think so. I think he posted his, and his is different. If you
have Julia Child's The Way to Cook, the one I use is in there.

It was originally posted in one of the Parade magazines years ago, but
when I got my copy of The Way To Cook, I found that it was also there.
