"A very nice lowfat relish to serve along side the turkey for the holidays. Simple and quick with the tart from the cranberries and sweetness from the cherries and pears. This recipe originally came from a very popular food and health magazine and can kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks."

Lori, thank you for sharing this awesome treat. We loved it. So much flavor. It was quick and really easy to make. I have been enjoying it with a number of things. It was wonderful served with pork, turkey, cheese and crackers, and I also topped the potato pie with it. This has gone into my Best of Cookbook for 2015. Kudos my friend.

Oh my gosh this is so good, since this was the first time making it I reduced the amounts by half, I also used some white sugar as well as the dark, I'll be making this again very soon, thanks for sharing Lori, this was made for KK's Chef Pick tag game

I have made this and will be serving it for Christmas Dinner - so I will be back with my taste review and photos then! However - it was so easy to make and a few spoons tastes tell me that it will be FABULOUS! It is sitting in my fridge right now! Thanks for such an inspirational recipe - great! FT:-)

A great relish, though I prefer thinking of it as a 'sauce!' The combination of cranberries with cherries & pears is wonderful, & although I used it this time primarily with chicken breasts [also over ice cream, & just right out of the dish, alone!], I look forward to making it to include with pork roasts & pound cake as well as for next Thanksgiving! Many thanks for the recipe!

I made this for Thanksgiving this year and it was very good. Next time I make it I think I will add just a little more sugar as it was pretty tart. Thanks for the great recipe!
