Cranberry Relish with Grand Marnier

by Nanny Bubby

Old Family recipe: by Tanya Murray Heath Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday of the year. It brings me such joy. There are so many recipes that are just cooked once a year for this happy and peaceful holiday. This one is one of my very favorites, and I always make enough to freeze for recipes during the year. This one comes from my dear friend, Tanya Murray Heath. As she says, “it has been in our family and on our table for as far back as I can remember.” We both hope it will have a permanent place on your table as well. Enjoy! “Spread Love Like Butter”
