Cranberry Relish

About 8 or 9 years ago my Mom started making something a little different to compliment our Thanksgiving Day dinner...
- a little something that only her -&- I really appreciated!?!
Something really delicious!?!
It was a Cranberry Relish that we had sampled in a local grocery store deli...
something her -&- I fell in love with immediately!?!
Even though this is a cranberry dish it is something that is delicious at ANYTIME
-but-
since it is so close to Thanksgiving I thought I'd share the recipe with you today!?!
Enjoy!?!

Cranberry Relish

Ingredients:
* 3 cups fresh whole cranberries
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest
* 1/2 cup water
