Cranberry Apple Relish

1 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries

1 large apple (any variety) peeled, cored, chopped in a small dice

1 c. golden raisins

1 c. sugar (up to 1 ¼ c. depending on if you want a sweeter relish)

½ c. orange juice

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

Put all ingredients except vinegar in a large saucepan. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat and gently simmer until it thickens and all berries pop, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Refrigerate, tightly covered, up to 2 weeks.

This recipe is from Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ (Romance Novel Author) facebook page. It’s delicious! I was leery of the balsamic vinegar, but it works. I promise.
