This relish is a great make-ahead dish. I made it a few days ahead of time and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a fan of pomegranates, so I used cranberries instead. It was still really good!

I didn't have any pine nuts, so I used walnuts instead. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this relish was not it. It's not bad, but it's not my favorite.

This braised bacon relish is a delightful blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. The pomegranate adds a beautiful pop of color and a unique tartness that complements the richness of the bacon perfectly. The pine nuts add a nice crunch and texture
