Here's an tried and true standby from older days
of the list. Just made it last night.
Cranberry chipotle compote (relish)

1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
3 medium Apples
3 medium Pears
cup Raisins
¼ cup Grand Marnier liquer
1 pounds Fresh cranberries
4 ounce Chipotle chile peppers; canned in adobo sauce; chopped fine
2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 cup Sugar
½ Orange; zest of, chopped fine
½ cup Fresh orange juice
½ teaspoon Nutmeg
¼ cup Grand Marnier liquer
Peel, core and dice pears and apples (medium).
Heat oil on medium high until hot. Add pears,
apples and raisins. Saute 3-5 min, or until soft.
Add 1/4 C Grand Marnier and deglaze pan. Add
cranberries, chipotles, cinnamon, sugar, orange
zest and orange juice. Stir and simmer for 40-45
minutes until it begins to thicken. Add nutmeg

about 1 quart. CHILE-HEADS ARCHIVES From the Chile-Heads recipe list.
