During the end-of-the-year holiday season, I make a variety of cranberry sauces & usually enjoy them all, & although this relish isn't necessarily my favorite, it does make for a very nice change of pace, & an enjoyable one, at that! Both of us really appreciated the flavor combo with the cranberries & figs, & it will be made again (perhaps as a holiday gift) since I have several friends who would really RELISH this one! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar tag]

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
