Best Cranberry Relish

Cranberries. People either like them or want nothing to do with them. There is no middle ground. I myself am a fan. I even like the jelled stuff in the can. I also love the juice, and Cosmopolitan's in moderation,of course. On Thanksgiving a few years back, I was introduced to what I think is the best cranberry relish ever and think it only fair I share this delightful delicacy on Thanksgiving Eve.

You'll need a bag of fresh cranberries, an orange, brown sugar, and some nuts such as walnuts or pecans, or if you don't care for nuts just leave them out. I think a little celery would be a great substitute for the nuts but I haven't tried that yet. I used a blender but a food processor would be great.
Adjust the amounts of ingredients to your taste or the amount you plan to serve. I only used 1/2 bag of berries,1 orange,3/4 cup brown sugar, and about 3 oz of pecan chips. If your orange has seeds remove them but use the whole orange as a lot of the flavor is in the peel. Thanks to Nancy Ball for introducing me to the best cranberry relish ever.
