Tips:
- Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will save you time and hassle while you're cooking.

- Don't Overcook the Relish: The relish should be cooked until the cranberries and beets are softened, but not mushy. Overcooking will make the relish too thick and syrupy.
- Taste the Relish as You Cook: Adjust the seasonings to your taste. You may want to add more sugar, vinegar, or spices.
- Let the Relish Cool: Before serving, let the relish cool slightly so that it thickens up. You can also refrigerate the relish for later use.
