Grandma Hansen's Cranberry Relish

4 c fresh cranberries (1 lb) (these are usually sold in 12 oz. packages, so adjust accordingly!)

2 oranges (seeds removed)

2 c sugar

Put cranberries and oranges (including the rind) through the food grinder.  Stir in the sugar and chill.  Makes 2 pints.  Keeps well in the fridge for weeks.

For extra fun, can also add (for every 1 cup relish): 

-1/4 c shredded coconut

-1 tsp lemon juice & 1/2 c thinly sliced celery

-2 Tbs raisins and 1/4 c chopped walnuts

-1/4 tsp ginger and 1 Tbs thinly slivered orange or lemon rind.

For a molded salad, add relish to red jello and add apples, celery, nuts.
