I cheated here and there, but this relish came out great! I used frozen raspberries (on hand), cane sugar, and white vinegar. Put everything in the pot at one time adding a large vanilla bean (scraped first) and let it simmer down to a thick sauce. Once cooled, I added 1/4 tsp of raspberry extract. This would be great on all things mentioned in the description, but us?... Ice cream topping, Yum! I could also see this as a pie filling. Lots of possibilities. Thanks for a keeper recipe!
