For a more complex flavor, try adding a pinch of ground ginger or a dash of cinnamon to the relish while it simmers. The relish can be made several days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you prefer a less sweet relish, reduce the amount of sugar to 1 1/2 cups. Consider adding 1/4 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts after the relish has cooled for added texture. For a spicier kick, add a small, seeded and minced jalapeno pepper to the saucepan when you add the cranberries.
