@alwaysdrawing Congrats on hosting. The relish looks interesting. Rough outline?
Very easy:
12oz bag of cranberries, chopped in Cuisinart
2 Granny Smith apples - cored (but not peeled), chopped in Cuisinart
2 Naval Oranges (with peel), chopped in Cuisinart
Combine chopped fruit with 1.5 cups sugar
Best when prepared a day early so the fruit has time to absorb the sugar.
Compared to traditional cranberry sauce, it's much more refreshing and less cloyingly sweet.

My first year hosting Thanksgiving...very traditional, and a small group (6 adults and 3 kids, only folks who live in town). Happy with the way it turned out, and learned some things for the future.
sweet potatoes with brown sugar and butter
mashed potatoes with loads more butter
my mother’s chestnut stuffing recipe
Brussels Sprouts, with the bacon leftover from the morning’s bacon and eggs
giblet gravy
my grandmother’s cranberry/orange/apple “relish”

Made a tomahawk steak for my wife’s birthday using a new method.
Reverse sear at 250 in oven for an hour, then high heat sear on charcoal chimney to char.
42oz steak
seasoned with harissa, salt and pepper. After an hour in oven at 225, internal temp was 110 when I pulled out.
searing directly on chimney
grill marks on first side
final product
rested for 5-10 mins
ready to serve!

Inspired by @liamsaunt beautiful antipasto, but scaled down for a casual dinner for two.
Burrata caprese with some home grown heirloom tomatoes, plus proscuitto, calabrese salami, cappacola, and some Brie. Enjoyed with a bottle of Pinot Nero from Alto Adige Südtirol. Very nice and light Pinot for a hot summer night.
Currently smoking a pork shoulder to shred for various meals this coming week.

I am interested in the background bottle. Some nice balsamic?
I just bought more--my new favorite balsamic.
Fattoria Estense Silver Label Sphere Balsamic. Very flavorful, and relatively affordable as far as balsamic goes (about $10 for that bottle)
