Ingredients

12 oz bag fresh cranberries ($2.79)
3 medium apples* (about 1.5 lbs.) ($2.58)
1/2 cup brown sugar ( $0.32)
1/2 tsp cinnamon ($0.05)
1/4 tsp ground cloves ($0.03)
1 tsp lemon juice ( $0.02)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Wash the cranberries and place them in a large 8x13-inch casserole dish (2-3 quart dish). Peel, core, and cut the apples into cubes roughly the same size as the cranberries. Place the cubed apples in the dish with the cranberries.
To the apples and cranberries add the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and lemon juice. Toss the ingredients together until well combined.
Roast the fruit in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until it is a thick, jam-like consistency. Stir the mixture once at 30 minutes, and again at 45 minutes to check doneness. Taste the relish and adjust the sugar or lemon juice if needed. Serve warm or refrigerate for later.
