Cranberry Relish adds so much to your Thanksgiving Turkey meal. I have been making this recipe since my children were little. I make enough for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I give some as gifts to friends and clients. Enjoy the compliments.

Notes
I use 5-6 Juicing oranges and 2 large Meyer lemons from our Meyer lemon tree.
update: I had only one bag of cranberries left and needed to make more for Christmas. I used 1/2 a cup of water to 1 cup of sugar, juice of 2 oranges and 1 lemon, and 1 tbsp ginger and followed the same directions. It came out wonderful.
