FAMILY-FAVORITE CRAN-APPLE RELISH

Steps:

• Finely grate outer orange rind and set aside. Peel off and discard white membrane. Slice the orange into eight pieces. Place a fourth of cranberries and orange slices in a food processor or blender; process until evenly chopped. Transfer to a large bowl; repeat until all cranberries and oranges have been chopped. Stir in the rind, apples and sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

CRAN-APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie dish with the softened butter. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce, granulated sugar and flour. Add the apples to the cranberry mixture, tossing to coat, and pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish.
• For the crumb topping: In the same mixing bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, pecans and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples in the dish.
• Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BAKED APPLES WITH SPICED CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, heat the orange and lemon juices with 1/2 cup of the port. Add the zest and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, onion, 2 cups port, ginger, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Over medium-high heat, cook until the relish thickens, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup port, the orange liqueur, and the reserved orange and lemon juice and zest mixture. Set aside.
• Cut off the top 1/4-inch of each apple. Using a melon baller, remove the core of the apple, being careful not to pierce the sides or bottom of the apples, to make apple "cups". Place the apple cups in a small baking dish. Spoon the cranberry relish into the apples. Spoon the excess relish around the apples. Cover with foil and bake until apples are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes.
