This delicious recipe is from Louise, my neighbour.

Cranberries remind me of cornellian cherries that I used to eat until I get stomach ache. As a child, that was one my favourite late summer treats and my favourite jam is made out of them, too. But, this recipe is made with cranberries, I should not forget this!

The first time I ate this, I loved the tartness of the blend. Later when I asked Louise how she makes it, she said “all you do is chop and mix them together”; no cooking involved! If you have access to the ingredients, I suggest you try this out. Also, keep in mind that it keeps well for about a month in the refrigerator as long as you keep in an airtight container.

Ingredients

1. 1 (12 ounces) package of fresh cranberries, finely chopped (I use my blender to do this)
2. 2 tart green apples, peeled, cored and diced
3. 3/4 cups sugar (1 cup, if you like it sweeter)
4. 1/2 cup orange marmalade
5. 1 (10 ounce) package of frozen raspberries, thawed and drained
6. 1 orange peeled well and cut into small pieces
7. 1 tsp fresh lemon juice to taste
8. If you have fresh raspberries, rinse and drain well and add them as well
9. If mixture appears too thick, then just add some more orange juice
10. She also suggests adding 1/2 cup chopped pecans

yields 6 cups

Instructions

Combine all of the above ingredients and stir well until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate until serving time

Enjoy!
