I felt your poem in my bones so of course I loved it. I have had a very similar experience with cranberries! My Mom made a raw cranberry relish which had a whole orange ground up with the cranberries along with celery and pecans. I preferred the canned stuff for a while too. As an adult, I make one similar to yours by cooking the berries in apple juice with allspice and cinnamon, then adding in orange zest and brandy or bourbon for the last few minutes of cooking. And it absolutely has to be served in that special cut glass dish which I inherited from my Mom!

Thank you for all your wonderful words and artistry. You are a treasure! 🥰
