Recipe by: Adventures in the Kitchen, by Wolfgang Puck, Random H 1) Cut the orange and lemon peels into julienne. In a small saucepan, heat the juices and 1/2 cup port. Over medium-high heat, cook the peels until tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve.

2) In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, onion, 2 cups port, ginger, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Over medium-high heat, cook until the relish thickens, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup port, the Grand Marnier, and the reserved orange and lemon peel mixture. Cool. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate, covered, until needed.

To prepare ahead: Through step 2, the relish will keep up to 1 week.

NOTE: You may want to garnish your turkey with julienned orange and lemon peel. If so, increase the number of oranges to 2 and use 1 whole lemon. Remove the extra peel before adding to the relish.
