What a fresh and tangy relish! After tasting it, I needed to try it as a sauce for marinating and baking tofu.... and what a success! I marinated my sliced tofu (12 triangular slices from 1 cake) for 30 minutes and then baked it at 350 F for 40 minutes until the juices were absorbed and the tofu was firm. The relish is a beautiful color and the tofu also. Try the tofu on a crisp green salad sprinkled with dried cranberries and sliced almonds for a real treat! Thanks Mirj for an inspiring relish...!

I made this for a very special "Thanksgiving Dinner" last night. Yesterday my husband open his new kids' hair salon and when he got home I surprised him with turkey, mashed potatoes and this wonderful spin on the traditional cranberry sauce. We gave thanks to the Lord for our new family business and then we were blessed to enjoy this superb recipe--thanks! (I used a bunch of random apples since I didn't have Granny Smiths on hand)

Wonderful relish. Did not have any grape juice so I used sherry (naughty, I know.........) instead. Usually when I make cranberry sauce or relish I blend it as we are not especially fond of chunky sauces. But this time I decided to leave it as it was because of the apples. Well, this "converted" me, chunky sauces/relishes are very nice indeed! I am extremely pleased I tried this recipe and will make again.
Thanks for posting.
