CRAB APPLE AND CRANBERRY RELISH



Crab Apple and Cranberry Relish image

If you bring cranberry relish to the Thanksgiving table this year, you'll be eating a food that long predates the holiday. Members of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) have been harvesting sasumuneash (sour berries) on Martha's Vineyard, MA, for thousands of years, using them to flavor and preserve meat, dye textiles and prevent illnesses. Today the berries are still central to Aquinnah Wampanoag culture: Tribe members celebrate Cranberry Day in the fall with traditional foods like chowder, quahogs, venison and, of course, cranberries. Stay true to the berry's native roots this year and try a relish recipe from the National Museum of the American Indian.
