Walnut Cranberry Relish

Combine the canned whole berry cranberry sauce, strawberry preserves, sugar, and ground cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl, stirring until the ingredients are evenly blended.

Stir in the balsamic vinegar or red wine, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the acidity and depth of flavor throughout the relish.

Fold in the toasted coarsely chopped walnuts gently, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture without breaking them down further.

Taste the relish and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed by adding more sugar or vinegar in small increments.

Transfer the relish to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld for at least 15 minutes before serving alongside turkey, ham, or other holiday proteins.
