SPICY RED PEPPER CRANBERRY RELISH
A kicky condiment, usually made with cranberries, can offset the neutral (read: bland) yet rich nature of the Thanksgiving meal. This hot red-pepper cranberry relish with jalapeños and cayenne fits the bill. You can keep the seasoning somewhat tame, or ramp up the heat to taste. It will keep for 2 weeks or so; make it in advance, as soon as cranberries are available, and have it on hand in the fridge through the holiday season.

Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned cranberries.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the cranberries. This will help to prevent the cranberries from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Add the sugar and vinegar to taste. The amount of sugar and vinegar you add will depend on your personal preference.
- Let the relish chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
