Hot Mama Notes: I had some leftover fresh cranberries from Thanksgiving that I needed to use up. For Thanksgiving, I used the fresh cranberry relish recipe of chopped fresh cranberries, sugar, and orange juice. Despite the immense amount of sugar, the relish was still somewhat bitter. I figured for the other half of the cranberries, I would try an ambrosia/fluff style fresh cranberry relish. Initially, I made homemade whipped cream and added fresh chopped cranberries and sugar. The result was still too bitter. I reviewed this recipe, and figured I would try adding in the crushed pineapple.  This did the trick! Delicious and no more bitterness. Of course, the fluff is more of a dessert, but hey. It is yummy! I did not add mini marshmallows or chopped nuts, but those would also be great additions, I think. :). I will try it for Thanksgiving next year!
