It's tradition: Every year, Susan Stamberg sneaks her mother-in-law's relish recipe onto the air. This year, she's also recommending another recipe, too — from actor and food writer Madhur Jaffrey.
Turkey and cranberries were linked in print for the first time in a 1796 cookbook. Not long after, (give or take 180+ years), Susan Stamberg began sharing her family's cranberry relish recipe on NPR.
This pandemic year, we need traditions more than ever, so we travel back to 1961, when Susan Stamberg first tasted her mother-in-law's now (in)famous, Pepto Bismol pink cranberry relish.
