It's almost Thanksgiving!  The Super Bowl of Cooking - it's one of my favorite times of the year.
Over the next week, I'll be posting some of my favorite recipes from Thanksgiving dinners past.    Enjoy!

Prep Time  10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Serves 6

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds broccoli florets, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons pine nuts or slivered almonds

Directions
Heat one inch water to boiling in 3-quart saucepan.  Add broccoli; reduce heat to low.  Simmer uncovered 7-12 minutes or until tender; drain. Stir in salt.

Heat remaining ingredients except pine nuts to boiling in 1-quart saucepan; reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer 10-13 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the cranberries have popped and sauce has thickened.

Spread pine nuts in single layer in 8 or 10-inch skillet; cook and stir over medium heat 4-7 minutes or until lightly browned.  Just before serving, spoon warm relish over broccoli and sprinkle with pine nuts.
