Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this cranberry orange relish is the kind of condiment that makes everything on the table taste more alive. The whole orange — peel and all — goes into the food processor alongside the cranberries, giving the finished relish a complex, slightly bitter citrus note that balances the natural tartness beautifully. Honey steps in as the sweetener, while fresh ginger and a whisper of cinnamon add warmth that keeps things interesting without overwhelming the fruit. A quick pulse in the food processor is all the technique you need — no cooking, no candy thermometer, no fuss. After an hour in the fridge, the flavors meld into something that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did. It's a naturally plant-based, meat-free recipe that happens to be completely free of any poultry-derived ingredients, so it works for a wide range of guests and dietary needs without any substitutions required. Spoon it over a holiday spread, swirl it into yogurt, or serve it alongside roasted vegetables — this relish earns its place at the table every single time.

Add the cranberries and orange wedges to a food processor and pulse 10–12 times, until the mixture is coarsely chopped with no large pieces remaining but still has visible texture — not pureed.
Transfer the chopped cranberry-orange mixture to a bowl. Stir in the honey, grated ginger, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
