Growing up, my Nana always made cranberry apple relish for our big family Thanksgiving dinner. It was fresh, tangy, and was made with 2 to 3 cups of refined white sugar. So. . . to healthify this recipe a bit while keeping its traditional charm and wonderful fresh taste, I scaled the sweetener way back. Its a bit more sour than the original recipe but its still fresh, delicious, and satisfies the cranberry sauce spot on your Thanksgiving dinner plate. Enjoy this whole food recipe loaded with real food nutrition on Thanksgiving or throughout the fall and winter!
