Celebrate your child's love of learning

This recipe is particularly good for small children to tackle because there's no hot stovetop involved, and kids love to watch things getting ground up in a food processor.

Clementines, with their thin, sweet skin, make the recipe taste more kid-friendly than the traditional cranberry-orange relish, which can be too bitter.

Serves 8 to 10 (as a condiment)

2 cups fresh cranberries, washed and picked over for stems, or 1 (8-ounce) bag frozen cranberries
3 clementines (preferably organic; if not, wash clementines thoroughly), cut into chunks, skin included
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch of salt

In a food processor pulse the cranberries and clementines until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sugar, almond extract, and salt. Chill at least 4 hours.
