Classic Cranberry Relish

Classic Cranberry Relish bursts with bright tart cranberries balanced by sweet apricot preserves, juicy pineapple, and citrusy orange peel. Natural pectin gives it a glossy, spoonable texture that shines next to roasted turkey, ham, or pork, and it doubles as a lively spread for sandwiches and cheese boards.
