When it comes to decorating this year's holiday table, consider following Mother Nature's lead. Seasonal fruit such as pomegranates and red pears lend luxurious shades of crimson that you could never get from a catalogue centerpiece. For presentation, we think simple and understated is key. A rustic wooden bowl or basket allows those natural jewels to shine. In the Washington area, good bets for red-fruit sightings include Korean mega-mart Han Ah Reum, specialty grocer Dean & Deluca, one of the many Whole Foods Market locations and My Organic Market. Pomegranates also make beautiful garnish, cracked in half on a platter next to your roast turkey or sprucing up salad greens with their ruby-red seeds. The quintessential garnet beauty of the season is the cranberry, a uniquely North American fruit. If you have 30 minutes to spare, try your hand at making cranberry relish for this year's Thanksgiving feast. We think you'll agree that it blows away the canned jellied stuff and may convert a few die-hard traditionalists to the real thing. For additional how-to details on making your own, listen up.Need help planning the entire menu?
