The best damn Cranberry Relish you will ever eat!

Cranberry Relish
(Melange of places)

1 lb. Fresh Cranberries (please only use organic, conventional ones have a shitload of pesticides and heavy metals in them!)
1 can crushed pineapple (strain out juice from pulp)
Water, enough to make 1 1/2 cups with pineapple juice from can
2 cups sugar (yes, I know, but it is a holiday treat, don't eat bowl-fulls like Jovan!)
1/2 cup dried cherries
1-2 tsps. Guar Gum or Agar-Agar flakes to thicken like jello would
Optional: a few Tbs. Berry jelly and/or some Berry juice
1/2- 1 cup Chopped Walnuts

Boil cranberries in pineapple juice and water until they begin to burst. Add in sugar and guar gum (or agar-agar flakes). Take off heat and let cool a bit. Mix in pineapple, dried cherries, and walnuts. Cool completely in the fridge. It will jell up upon cooling a little, but not hard like jello.
