I make mine with 1/2 c. maple syrup, 1/2 c. of cran-raspberry juice, zest of 1 orange, 1 diced apple and 1 bag cranberries. After boiling, I toss in a 1/2 c of walnuts. Delicious and not too sweet. I'll try the orange and lemon juices from this recipe instead of cran-raspberry and see how it is. - 11/22/09

It is very similar, but how close, I am not sure, I did do the grinding of the cranberries in the meat grinder for my grandma. I know we used orange juice and orange zest, I am pretty sure we didn't use the lemon, cook or use cloves. It was very good but whose Grandma's recipes aren't? Thank you. - 11/11/09

I've been making cooked cranberry sauce for years using splenda in place of sugar. Started adding cinnamon the past year or so. Adds a great flavor. Keeps a long time in Frig.( I live alone) for a long time. Also add a tablespoon or 2 to non-fat (Fage)yogart. Delicious. Only 23 calories for 1/2 cup. - 10/25/12

How is this healthy with adding 3/4 cup white sugar? I would suggest omitting the white sugar and adding a sugar free apple butter that is sweetened with a fruit juice or just adding sweet, delicious, honey! Thumbs down on the original version and shame on you for publishing it this way!!!

It says right at the bottom of the recipe that a serving size is 2 Tblsp's.
You need to carefully read the whole recipe before complaining about the serving size.
I have never made the cranberry relish, just cooked the whole berries and added sugar but I am going to make this for our dinner. - 11/22/11
