Apple Cranberry Relish

A tart relish, easily and quickly prepared. The apples must be sweet to balance the tart cranberries. For sweeter results, use 4 apples.

5 oz. fresh cranberries, rinsed
2-4 sweet medium apples, cored and chopped into bite sized pieces (about 11-22 oz. total as purchased)
1/2c water

optional:

1/8t salt

Cook the apples with the salt in 1/2c water until they just begin to soften. Stir in the cranberries, and cook until they break apart, about 10 minutes. Tastes best warm, not hot. Serves 4.
