I sat down with my Texas sister one day and with her family. We compared the types of meal that the families were used to. It was announced that I had been raised Northern. When we noticed all of the differences, I had to agree.

One thing I had mentioned was cranberry relish. Mom used to make this with raw cranberries, a food grinder, a grater for the orange peel, and an old fashioned rolling pin to break up the pecans.

Since then I have figured out a way to make this relish without all of the work that mom had to do. I cooked a bag a fresh cranberries with two cups water, when they were done, I added a package of sugar free orange jello, and a cup of chopped pecans. I would stir the mix until the gelatin (which ever brand you like) was dissolved, poured it into a bowl and set it in the fridge. It works. I will probably mention this in another of my blogs, too.
