This is an old-fashioned recipe for cranberry sauce, not relish. The difference is that cranberry sauce is cooked, so is usually a bit thinner and sweeter. A relish is most often not cooked and acts more like a condiment than a sauce. This recipe has a bit of tang, with a nice punch from the bourbon. And don't worry -- all the alcohol is cooked out so the kids can enjoy this as well; or, you can just leave out the bourbon. You can make this recipe up to three days in advance.
