MAMA STAMBERG’S CRANBERRY RELISH
I heard this recipe every year on NPR for over 20 years before I was brave enough to try it.
1- 7.5 oz.clamshell whole raw cranberries, washed
1/2 cup onion
2/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 Tbls. horseradish from a jar
Grind the raw berries and onion together in a food processor that will give you a chunky grind — not a puree. Stir in everything else and mix. Put in a plastic container and freeze. Early Thanksgiving morning, move it from freezer to refrigerator compartment to thaw. (“It should still have some little icy slivers left.”) The relish will be thick, creamy, and shocking pink.

Adapted from Epicurious.com
1 bunch Carrots, tops removed
1/4 cup vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbls. fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/2 tsp harissa (Northwest African chili paste) or 1/4 tsp. cayenne (optional)
2 to 4 cloves garlic, mashed or minced
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. sweet paprika
Wash and scrub, but do not peel carrots; coarsely grate or thinly slice (using a mandoline). In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients, start with 2 cloves garlic, adding more if needed. Salt to taste. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days to allow the flavors to meld and permeate the carrots. Served chilled or at room temperature. For a Turkish flair, substitute 1-cup plain yogurt for the lemon juice.
