Cranberry Orange relish

4c (about 1 lb) cranberries,
2 cups sugar,
1 cup orange juice,
1 tbsp orange zest, and
2 Anjou or Bosc pears (slightly under ripe, peeled, and diced).

Combine it all in a heavy saucepan, place over medium heat , and boil until
the berries pop open (10-15 minutes). Skim the foam (with a metal spoon)
and let it cool. It's supposed to keep for 2 months in the fridge.
************
I added a 1/4 cup Grand Marnier to add more depth. I notice a little difference, I think. Don't taste the GM, which I think is the point. I wanted to enhance the flavor, not change it.

UPDATE: I also used 2 slightly under ripe Bartlett pears, and they worked just fine. The pieces remained intact, and their flavor is evident.

I need to confirm, but iirc, this stuff is supposed to keep for up to 2 months in the fridge. Duh--I already said so in the old post.

Dinner: take leftover salmon hash. Spoon over two slices whole grain bread. Top with dill Havarti cheese. Broil until cheese bubbles.

I had it with leftover green salad and some of the cranberry relish. Yes, I eat cranberry relish with certain types of fish. Those with a strong taste. I love it with tuna casserole.

My favorite sandwich in college consisted of baked beans and tuna fish on rye or pumpernickel. Yes, there was salad dressing in the tuna. Pickle relish as well. That was one protein-packed sandwich. And I never had to worry about anyone stealing the leftovers out of the fridge.

Thanks to yesterday's Rakefest '07, my left side has been seizing up all day. It started this morning, when I raised my left arm and the muscles under my left shoulder said "uh-uh." Nothing debilitating. I just have to move slowly and give the affected muscles time to catch up.

I'm in a good mood, for no reason I can put my finger on. I should probably enjoy it while it lasts...
