• In a food processor, combine the orange zest and chunks, apples, cranberries and celery and process until finely chopped; be careful not to process too long because the mixture will become mushy. Add the walnuts and pulse until chopped. Stir in the sugar and orange liqueur. Refrigerate until serving time, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

• Make this a day ahead and serve chilled. In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the water, orange juice and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Add the cranberries and cook only for about minutes or until the skins of the berries pop. Remove pan from heat and add orange rind. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• Leftovers can be thinned with some liqueur and used as a hot sauce to spoon over frozen yogurt or pound cake.

CARAMELISED CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Use a zester to zest the orange or use a peeler to peel off the zest, then finely shred it with a knife and set aside with the ginger. Halve and juice the orange.
• Tip the orange juice and sugar into a shallow saucepan and boil gently until you get an amber-orange caramel. Scatter the zest and ginger into the caramel, cook for 1 min, then tip in the cranberries and Port, if using. Cook everything on a high heat for 5 mins until the cranberries are starting to split but still have texture. Leave to cool and serve with the turkey.

CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Wash and scrub the apple and orange.
• Rinse the cranberries in a colander.
• Cut the ends off of the orange just a little, until the sections show through.
• Core the apple and cut into quarters.
• In a food processor on chop with chop blade, chop the frozen cranberries until a relish consistency.
• Scoop out into a bowl.
• Chop apple the same way and add to bowl.
• Cut orange into quarters and add to processor-chop until all rind is in very small relish like particles.
• Add to bowl.
• Mix lightly and sprinkle about 1/2 or 2/3's of the one cup of sugar over mixture and let sit for about 1/2 hour.
• After sitting, mix again and taste.
• If mixture is too tart for you add more sugar until right for you.
• We like it tart.
• Add nuts last.
• Note:We quadruple this recipe or more each year.
• For each additional batch, keep out some of the sugar until the batch has rested.
• The fruit does tend to sweeten some naturally and this shouldn't be real sweet.
• Also-this freezes well.
• After the holidays I make several more batches for the rest of the year and freeze in individual containers-ziplock type bowls- (one per meal 4 serving size).
• Keeps forever and is handy to get out for picnics in the summer also.
• ****For freezing batches I do this without the nuts-they tend to mush out over long periods of time-and though they freeze well as nuts they don't adapt to freezing in liquid foods.
• **2010 update re: option for nuts. Place crushed nuts in a small side bowl and let those who like the nuts sprinkle what they want to mix in with their serving. This also works well, because if there are leftovers, you can freeze it without worrying about the nuts getting mushy. Other option--make two batches, one with and one without With large family gatherings and different tastes or food some can't eat, requirements, this solves the problem. Enjoy.

APPLE-ORANGE CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice away the bottom of the orange so it sits steady on the cutting board. Working from top to bottom, slice off the peel, leaving behind most of the white pith. Finely dice half of the peel strips; discard the rest or save for another use. In a small saucepan over high heat, combine the diced peel and the water. When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, squeeze all the juice from the orange and set aside.Strain and set aside the blanched orange peel.
• In a medium saucepan, add diced apple, cranberries, orange juice, blanched orange peel, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce the heat to low and partially cover the pan. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, the apple is tender, and the cranberries have burst, 10-15 minutes.
• Transfer the cranberry sauce to a heatproof bowl and let cool for 1 hour before serving.
