Mulling Spice Recipe

I was intrigued by this recipe for 

Cranberry Relish 

I did not however have the Packaged Mulling Spice

that Susan used in her recipe.

so 

I did the next best thing,

I Googled how to make my own....

*ground allspice

I added 1/4 cup of homemade 

Mulling Spice

to a 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple

and a 14 oz. can of whole cranberry

and 1/2 cup of crushed pecans

(as per Susan's recipe)

I mixed it all together and believe me...

IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!

I can't wait to serve it on Thanksgiving!

While I was at it I decided to make Cranberry Bread...

I used a Krusteaz Fat Free Cranberry Orange box mix. 

Instead of adding the can of cranberry-orange that came with the box, I mixed the can of cranberry-orange

with a cup of the homemade cranberry relish and added it to the bread mix.  

I used the little can it came with as my measurement for the relish.

Now the cranberry-orange bread had pecans, pineapple, cranberry, and orange!

And now being a crafter and not really a cook,

I couldn't stop there...

I filled several jars with the homemade 

Mulling Spice

added a label and I'm giving it 

to my guests for Thanksgiving.

Mix 1/2 a cup of Mulling Spice and 1 cup of water

into 2 cups of red wine, cider or tea. Simmer and

you have a delicious treat 

for the holidays!

It makes your house smell great too!
