Cranberry Cherry Relish

This old recipe comes from Marylee, who gives this advice: "Fresh cranberries are packed 12 ounces, not one pound, to a bag, so buy two bags, since most recipes call for a pound. Any extra cranberries freeze well."

Cranberry Cherry Relish
1 pound fresh cranberries
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup cranberry juice
zest of one orange, finely grated
1 cup dried cherries

• Pick through the cranberries eliminating damaged fruit, rinse, then drain well.
• Combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, cranberry juice and orange zest in a pan.
• Place ofver medium heat; boil slowly until the berries pop open, about ten minutes.
• Remove from heat, skim the foam off the surface with a metal spon, stir in the cherries and let cool to room temperature.
• Cover and refrigerate. Keeps up to one month.
