simple yet delicious

After preparing and plating a meal, I often find myself wishing I had more of a variety of color on my plate, both for photography and nutrition purposes.  Experts use the quick rule of thumb that a wider variety of food color typically  provides a more healthy, well balanced meal. This cranberry relish adds a splash of color, tons of nutrients and a huge punch of flavor to any meal.  You can serve it as a side or put it on vanilla yogurt for a snack or a healthy dessert, which my mom and I do quite often.  It is so easy to make, it is almost fool proof. 

Cranberry Relish with a Twist
1 (12 oz) bag fresh cranberries
1 orange, cut into piece (rind and all)
1 apple, cored and cut into pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp ginger

Place all ingredients in a food processor, pulsing until fruit is mixed together.  Do not over process or relish will become a puree rather than a relish :)
