Grandma's Raw Cranberry Relish (Sauce) Recipe

Grandma used to make this 'relish' for Thanksgiving dinner. This is one of the few recipes that I have handed down to me from my grandmother.

Raw Cranberry Relish
1 bag fresh cranberries, rinsed,
2 medium oranges (including the peel)
Juice from the cranberries and oranges
3/4 c. sugar

Grind up the cranberries and oranges in food processor or blender.
Stir together all the ingredients and refrigerate overnight.

I know you shouldn't mess with granny's recipes, but I think I am going to try a natural sweetener, like dates or agave, this Thanksgiving. Also, since I am one of the only people who eats this on their turkey, I will probably cut the ingredients in half. I'll let you know how it goes and post pictures.

**Update**
Ok, it was awesome! So I only messed with granny's recipe a little. I cut the sugar to under 1/2 cup and it was still PLENTY sweet (at least for me). I loved the tartness on my turkey! And since it was just a couple of us who opted for the relish rather than the gravy, I had some leftovers that I popped into my green smoothie yesterday. And it was seriously some yummy wake up juice.

Oh, and because of all the festivities, I forgot to get a picture of the sauce on the real turkey day. But here is a pic of some headed to my smoothie.
