Here are a couple of recipes that my Mom makes for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.

Cranberry-Orange Relish (no cooking)
Put through food processor a 12oz. package of fresh or frozen cranberries and 1 medium orange (quartered and seeds removed) until evenly chopped
Add: 3/4 - 1 cup of sugar
Stir in sugar to desired sweetness. Mix well and refrigerate several hours before serving. May be frozen. Yields approximately 2 1/2 cups. Note: use the whole orange, rind and all.

Cranberry Nut Bread
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup orange juice
2 tbsp. shortening
1 well-beaten egg
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped nuts- you can use any kind you want
1 tbsp. grated orange peel
Preheat oven to 350*. In a bowl mix together dry ingredients. Stir in orange juice, orange peel, shortening, and egg. Mix until well-blended. Stir in cranberries and nuts. Turn into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a rack 15 minutes; remove from pan. Yields one loaf.

Turkey Pastry Puff
cut leftover turkey into medium sized pieces
layer pan with turkey pieces
spread 1 can of water chesnuts (sliced) over turkey pieces

spread 8-12oz. package of mozzarella cheese
