Gremlins? What are you saying about my family? Is that some kind of bizarre racist attack? We have some strange family members, but no one has ever called them … gremlins. I think there may be one on my son’s lawn, though. I’m not sure. I’ll have to look.

In line with it being Thanksgiving today, I will offer you the best, fastest, simplest cranberry relish recipe anywhere.

FRESH CRANBERRY RELISH

1 bag of fresh cranberries, uncooked (as in raw)

1 fresh orange (get one of the thin-skinned oranges with juice inside)

1 cup sugar

DIRECTIONS

I hope you have a food processor. If you don’t, you might be able to do it in a blender, but you’ll need one of these two machines. The processor is the better choice.

1. Pour the cranberries into the food processor. (Don’t forget to put the blade in first.)
2. Cut the orange into bite-sized pieces. Dump them into the food processor, too.
3. Add one cup of plain, white sugar — or brown sugar. I’ve used both and it’s fine either way.
4. If you feel like it, add some cinnamon. I make two — one with cinnamon, one plain.
5. Turn the machine on and leave it on until the whole thing is the texture of applesauce.
6. Put it in a container with a lid and store it in the refrigerator. It’s ready to go.

You can add a half a lemon (cut up) if you like, or a bit of lemon juice, but it’s unnecessary.

Great with turkey. Actually it’s great with anything. I eat it like dessert!
