Bonus Tip from Shelby

While everyone fusses over the fried turkey, I’m just waiting for the cranberry relish. It is by far the easiest dish of the day and the one that tastes most like home. My Mammaw, Linda Read, has been making this staple side dish for our Thanksgiving meal for many years. This combination of crushed pineapple, whole cranberries, and pecans is sure to wake your taste buds and give your plate the perfect pop of crimson. Take a few minutes this holiday season to whip up a batch (or two) and enjoy with your delicious fried turkey. MAMMAW’S CRANBERRY RELISH INGREDIENTS • 1 can crushed pineapple (drained)

• 1 can whole cranberry sauce • Chopped pecans or walnuts (desired amount) • Pumpkin pie spice (to taste)
