Cranberry sauce, also known as cranberry relish, is a staple on most Thanksgiving tables. But its preparation varies from home to home. Some prefer the traditional approach of combining cranberries and citrus, while the more adventurous prefer less conventional accents. Sara Foster, owner of Foster's Market in Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, makes two batches of relish: one enhanced with citrus to suit more traditional tastes, and the other with seven-pepper jelly for those who love the spicy flavor.

For best results, use fresh cranberries -- never frozen -- and the best oranges you can find. Presented with the individual tastes of guests in mind, cranberry relish served two ways can be a thoughtful addition to this year's Thanksgiving table.
