SPIKED CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Wash and pick over cranberries for foreign pieces. In heavy saucepan combine berries with sugar, 1/2 cup water and the orange juice. Bring to boil; reduce heat and cook at gentle boil until cranberries have popped. Do not wait until all pop, as the cranberries will become too soft.
• Remove from heat; stir in Grand Marnier; cover well and chill.
• A couple of hours before serving, stir in pecans.

FRESH CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:
