Cranberry Relish Sweet and Spicy

Cranberries and the holiday's go hand and hand and I can't imagine sitting down for a holiday meal without a side dish of Cranberries.  This Cranberry Relish recipe is so versatile and through the years has become my favorite to work with.  The base recipe is a little sweet and yet the tartness of the cranberry is still there with wonderful fall flavors.  The Spicy recipe has a full flavor of the jalapeno and is a big hit at holiday parties. Our family and friends love this recipe and sure hope you do to.
