- .RZ "CRANBERRY-ORANGE RELISH" "A fruit relish for holiday dinners"
- In Chicago, where I did much of my growing up, there was a company
- called Indian Trails that made a frozen cranberry relish, and their
- relish was traditional at my family's Thanksgiving dinner. When I
- moved to Boston I missed it. So I determined when next I went back to
- find a package of Indian Trails, read the label carefully, and
- duplicate the ingredients.
- .PP
- Alas, the company had gone bankrupt in my absence and there were no
- packages anywhere in any reputable store. But I knew about the
- disreputable stores as well, so I took myself over to 47th Street and
- sure enough there in the frozen foods section I found a pink-marbled,
- faintly sticky package of Indian Trails cranberry relish, undoubtedly
- thawed out and re-frozen at least a dozen times.
- .PP
- Eagerly I snatched it up, eagerly I read the mysterious ingredients:
- cranberries, oranges, sugar. (This was before the days when they would
- have boasted "No preservatives! No artificial ingredients!") I
- returned to Boston. I tried it: cranberries, oranges, sugar. Based on
- the original experience with Indian Trails, I assume my home-made
- version would freeze admirably.
- .PP
- One year, in a restless fit, I added a little powdered cinnamon, but
- that was silly, and I'm ashamed of myself now.
