Gingered Cranberry-Raspberry Relish - less than 60 cals!

Gingered Cranberry-Raspberry Relish

Unlike cranberry sauce, a relish involves no cooking. Here, plump raspberries add a juicy freshness, while crystallized ginger provides sweetness and warmth. It is best served cold. Hold the mayo on your post-holiday sandwiches—use this relish instead for a real treat.

Fletch and I are planning to make use of our Ninja blender this Thanksgiving Holiday. We'll start out with our morning breakfast all-fruit juices, and then use it to make the traditional Thanksgiving cranberry sauce (this time relish) that his father loves. Although my Chinese family traditionally eats Hot Pot for the holidays, I am happy to try to flavors to heighten my taste buds. Also, are cranberries full of powerful nutrients of antioxidants such as, vitamin C and flavonoids which boost your immune system? Sounds great to me!

Cheers!
