Artificial Food Coloring Free Cranberry Orange Relish with Ginger & Honey
Bright, tangy, and alive with warm spice, this cranberry orange relish is the kind of condiment that makes a whole table sit up and take notice. The entire recipe is built from whole, recognizable ingredients — fresh cranberries, an unpeeled navel orange, real honey, grated ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt — so there's nothing synthetic hiding in the mix. Store-bought relishes and cranberry sauces are notorious for sneaking in artificial dyes to punch up that jewel-red color, but here the gorgeous hue comes entirely from the fruit itself. The food processor does the heavy lifting, giving you a beautifully textured, chunky relish in just a few pulses — no cooking required. A short rest in the refrigerator lets the honey mellow the tartness and the ginger and cinnamon weave through every bite. It's equally at home alongside a holiday roast, spooned over cream cheese on a cracker, or tucked into a leftover sandwich the next day.
