Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

12 ounces fresh cranberries

1 pound canned pineapple chunks with liquid

2 medium apples -- peeled

cored and diced

2 tablespoons agar flakes -- (see Note, below)

1/3 cup light brown sugar

more or less to taste

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

 

8 to 10 servings

 

A sweet-tart relish, this adds a refreshingly tangy note and jewel-like

color to the meal.

 

Place the cranberries in the container of a food processor. Pulse on and

off until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

 

Drain the liquid from the pineapple chunks into a small saucepan. Transfer

the pineapple chunks to the food processor along with the apples. Pulse on

and off until coarsely chopped. Add to the cranberries in the mixing bowl.

 

Combine the agar flakes with the juice in the saucepan. Bring to a simmer,

stirring frequently, and cook until the flakes are dissolved, about 5

minutes. Pour into the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly with the fruit. Add

enough sugar to create a sweet-tart balance to your taste. Stir in the

cinnamon. Pour the mixture into an attractive serving bowl and chill for

several hours.

 

Note: Agar flakes are readily available in most natural food stores as well

as Oriental markets. These tiny, flavorless, colorless flakes, derived

from a seaweed, are the best vegetable-derived jelling product available.
