This Cranberry-Pineapple Relish is one of my favorite things to make for Thanksgiving and the holidays-sweetened using crushed pineapples and sugar-free Jell-0!

What ingredients do I need for this Cranberry-Pineapple Relish?

• Crushed pineapple– drained. If you don’t drain the juice from the crushed pineapple the point value would increase. Once the juice is drained, the crushed pineapple is zero points. 
• Cranberries- fresh or frozen but thawed
• Sugar-free strawberry, raspberry, cherry, or orange jell-o
• Lemon juice- to offset the acidity of the cranberries
• Water

What is the difference between cranberry sauce and cranberry relish?

 The difference between cranberry sauce and cranberry relish is the texture and sweetness.  Cranberry relish is smashed/puréed. It is made with crushed pineapple which balances out the tartness that cranberry sauce can have.

I make a Zero Point Cranberry Sauce that is delish! It’s chunky and a bit sweetener/a little more tart than this relish.

What can I do to make sure this Cranberry-Pineapple Relish isn’t bitter?

Fresh cranberries can be VERY bitter, especially when they’re just cooked. The flavor will mellow out a lot if you make it a day or two ahead and put it in the fridge.

What are some ways to eat this Zero Point Cranberry-Pineapple relish?

• Serve with turkey or ham.
• Enjoy a spoonful with non fat plain or Greek yogurt.
• Use as a topping for pancakes or waffles.
• Use as a filling for fruit turnovers.
