Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Homemade Cranberry Relish

Have you ever made your own cranberry relish? Did you know that it's 100 times better than anything you can buy in the store? And did you know that it's so simple that you'll wonder why you never made it before? Well, I am here to help you solve that problem. You can whip this up in a matter of a few minutes and the end result will be a luscious, slightly tart mixture of cranberries, sugar and orange that will have you wondering why you've never made it before now.

Homemade Cranberry Relish



1 12-ounce bag cranberries
1 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Put everything in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.

Turn the heat down and simmer for about 30 minutes until the cranberries break down and mixture becomes thick.

Store in a covered container until ready to use. 

This is great as a side or served on hot biscuits! 

Makes about 2 cups.
