Notes

🥕Use any variety apple you prefer. I used Granny Smith in this recipe.

🥕You can use fresh pineapple. I like to keep it easy so I used canned pineapple chunks packed in juice.

🥕Be sure to remove as much of the white pith as you can from your orange segments. It can add a bitter flavor, so less is better.

🥕Since this relish is made from fresh fruits, it is best consumed within one or two days. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container.
