Almost-Famous Cranberry Walnut Relish

This recipe, courtesy of the Food Network Magazine, was thoroughly enjoyed on Thanksgiving, spread over the turkey, and is equally enjoyed by my wife who is topping everything she eats with the left overs. This was the first dish I've ever made where I was able to literally throw every ingredient into the saucepan all at once and have an incredible cranberry orange walnut recipe in about 9 minutes. Try it - you'll never go back!

Serves 6-8 (unless you have a cranberry sauce lover - then it'll serve 3-4)

INGREDIENTS:
1 orange
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (about 8 ounces)
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup chopped walnut pieces

DIRECTIONS:
Finely grate the zest of half the orange into a medium saucepan, then squeeze in all of the juice. Add the cranberries, sugar and walnuts and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the cranberries begin to pop - about 9-10 minutes.

Let cool.
