Tree Nut Free Cranberry Orange Relish with Ginger & Honey
Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this cranberry-orange relish is the kind of condiment that steals the show at any table. The whole orange — peel and all — goes straight into the food processor with the cranberries, giving the finished relish a beautifully complex citrus flavor that you simply can't get from juice alone. Fresh ginger adds a gentle warmth, while honey rounds out the tartness without making things cloying. A pinch of cinnamon and sea salt tie everything together in a way that feels festive but not fussy. The food processor does most of the work in under a minute, and then the fridge handles the rest — a short rest lets the flavors meld into something that tastes like you spent far more effort than you did. It's naturally free from any nuts or nut-derived ingredients, so there's no label-scanning required, just whole, simple produce and pantry staples. Make a batch ahead of time and keep it chilled until you're ready to serve — it only gets better as it sits.
