As Thanksgiving 2018 nears, I can't help but feel gratitude and love for all that I have, all that I am blessed with. I can't think of a holiday that has a message as strong as Thanksgiving.  We give, we share, we laugh, we eat, and we take the opportunity to express gratitude and love for all we have.

Thanksgiving is a time that we come together with friends and family to celebrate. It's a day about gratitude and appreciation. Sometimes we get so busy in our daily lives that we forget to really express how grateful and blessed we are. Thanksgiving is that special day in the year that is set aside as a reminder to honor and show gratitude for family, friends, and all we are blessed with.

Thanksgiving is also a day for sharing. We share memories, special moments with loved ones, and of course all those family favorite recipes that have become traditions through the years.

One of our family favorite Thanksgiving recipes is our Cranberry Relish. I hope you enjoy this version of a holiday classic.

Cranberry Relish

1 - 16 oz. pkg whole cranberries

2 clementine or mandarin oranges, including the peel
