Texas Cranberry Relish With Candied Pecans image

Relish is a must on the holiday table alongside turkey and this is an easy homemade cranberry relish recipe. It's tart with a lightly sweet syrup. The golden raisins and spiced pecans add sweetness, texture, and flavor. Jalapeno does not add a lot of spice, just a bit of warmth to the relish. You could almost call this a chutney....
