Does anyone use a sugar substitute? Or a combo of sugar and Splenda?

Served this cranberry relish with Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and it was great! Many compliments. Next time I'll trying leaving on the peel.

This has always been the best traditional recipe to use with the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I don't use walnuts because they grown soft over time and we make enough of this relish to last several days. The longer it sits the better. The real secret is to add one more ingredient: 1-3 tablespoons of Grand Marnier liqueur. It adds something special to the fresh orange in the recipe and matures beautifully over a few days if made ahead.

To Lori who asked about sugar substitutes. I make this with erythritol and it is wonderful. Erythritol doesn't increase blood sugars (diabetes). I get my erythritol from Honeyville Grains.

Oh My Gosh! Try this recipe! I've Always made cranberry relish by cooking it, fussing over it, etc. But I came home this pm, craving fresh fruit, & having a full bag of berries in the fridge left over from the holidays....& no time or patience. I had some clementines...& in no time flat I had some YUMMY relish. I thank those of you who wrote: "YES, DO ADD THE PEEL" as I'd probably not have done that... & it was a wonderful addition to the recipe. I put in some cinnamon too; & walnut pieces. I'd write more praise, but I want to stop to finish eating my creation! Thanks to all who wrote!

This is good to pour over low fat cream cheese and serve with crackers for an appetizer even after Thanksgiving.

I just made this to serve for dinner on Sunday. I used 2 lbs of cranberries, 2 navel oranges (peel and all) 2 cups sugar, some cinnamon and fresh nutmeg, 1 apple (skin on) and added a can of crushed pineapple. This hasn't even set yet and it tastes amazing. I will be adding toasted walnuts in the morning.

Old school here, one to one ratio, hand grind the berries and oranges (with peel) together, chop walnuts coarsely, mix, sugar to taste, memories of great turkey days past and great on cold turkey sandwiches.

Yes, the peel adds a little zip. I add amaretto and do 1/2 sugar and 1/2 Stevia. The walnuts sounds like a must add! My favorite part of this recipe is the next day, I take a spoonful of this relish and add a spoon of Hellmann's and add to my turkey sandwich :) I think of this sandwich all year long! Love Thanksgiving.

I didn't see any of these great cooks adding my Mothers signature condiment....Finely Diced Celery... for great crunch !! Try it !!

Made this recipe last year for the first time and I misunderstood about the jello. Used 1 pkg Dark Cherry Kool-Aid instead. It was good. Going to use the Kool aid again this year but only use 1/2 of the package. :)

I used fresh cranberries, 3 clementines, 1 can crushed pineapple, 1 small box vanilla pudding and sugar. It turned out very yummy!! And I have extra to possible try in a bread recipe. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I always add 1/2 bag of minature marshmallows to this cranberry salad.

Add 1/2 bag minature marshmallows and a dollop of whipped cream.

This is also good when an apple is added, washed and cored with the peel on.
