Cranberry Pear Relish Recipe

Tart and tempting, this relish is a traditional part of Kathie Theis' holiday menu. "It's pleasant with both poultry and pork," she notes from Monticello, Minnesota. "My husband, children and grandkids like the pairing of fall fruits and the hint of ginger and cinnamon. It tastes just like autumn."

This is a great recipe. I had to substitute dry ginger spice but it still turned out great. I plan on making it every year.

This is one of my traditional items I make for any holiday..I love it because it can be made ahead, it lasts over a week in the refrigerator. It is also great on oatmeal, in yogurt, or with a granola type cereal!!
