SPIKED CRANBERRY RELISH
Made this up today, Thanksgiving 2005, based on a recipe for a mixed drink I saw yesterday in the NY Times. The drink was developed by Audrey Saunders, owner of the Pegu Club in SoHo, NYC. As for the cranberry relish, it was the best I have ever tasted; BF had several helpings before dinner. Keep a copy for next Thanksgiving or Christmas or anytime. Applejack is an inexpensive liquor that most liquor stores have sitting somewhere on their shelves. This is something I might make before any other dishes, and leave sitting in fridge until ready to serve. Therefore, chilling time is not included.

Steps:
- Wash and pick over cranberries for foreign pieces. Combine in heavy saucepan with sugar, water and orange juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and cook at a gentle boil until most cranberries have popped. (Don't wait until all of them pop; otherwise, the cranberries will become too soft.) Remove from heat.
- Stir in Grand Marnier, and chill.
- A couple of hours before serving, stir in the pecans.

- Fresh cranberries are best for this recipe, but frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
