Yes, Alton Brown knows *everything*...

... including how to make Hais, which he's doing on the episode we're looking at right now. And it's really useful, because he deals with the fruit in a meat grinder, which would never have occurred to me. (Mincing the fruit is the hard part of making hais.) We'll have to remember that, next time we make it...

I had to look it up -- is this the fruit-and-crumbs confection? There's a pdf online which references the Miscellany and suggests using a food processor for the chopping, which sounds good if you don't have a meat grinder.

cranberry relish is best made with a meat grinder:

1 sack cranberries, 1 orange, 1 apple, 1/2 lemon, 1 cup sugar

dump whole fruit in the top, grind, mix in sugar.
