He found this recipe on epicurious.com:
Best Cranberry Relish
16 ounces fresh cranberries
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
Thoughts?

I stick to canned.
Keep it simple and we can get it as cranberry relish or chop it up ourselves.
I eat cranberry sauce a few times throughout the year and not just during the holidays.

Since we're roadtripping instead of cooking ourselves this year, we're eating at my family's house @ 11:30am and his family's house @ 2:30.
That's perfect because holiday meals have to match my regular eating times. I'm not one of those people who starves herself in anticipation for a special meal. That's the recipe for disaster: lightheadedness and overeating when you finally get to the meal. Give me a late breakfast and a lunch and I'm happy.
