Caramelized Onion Burger With Cranberry Relish

Enjoying a perfectly grilled burger with condiments while the sun’s descending epitomizes summer. But we’re not talking about your old standby of American cheese and ketchup. Make those hot summer nights dreamy ones by introducing yourself to your two new best friends: aioli and cranberry relish. 

Aioli is simply mayonnaise that’s been upgraded to first class with the addition of garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, but in this case, Dijon mustard. Add dollops of tart Harry & David Cranberry Relish and sweet Caramelized Onion Spread and your burger order just went from one to two!

This gourmet meal wouldn’t be complete without a side dish and something to wash it all down. Shall we say, a cocktail, or even a mocktail?

In this recipe, we've used red sauerkraut, but white sauerkraut works just as well
