Cranberry-Jalapeno Relish

This is an easy recipe to make. The relish makes a surprising compliment to just about any dish. Set it on the table in a pretty glass bowl with a little spoon. 

It takes about 35 minutes to prepare, makes 3 cups of relish, and it is so tasty as a side flavor to scrambled eggs, turkey sandwiches, and even a chicken casserole dinner.  Spoon it potatoes. Awesome!
