Sesame Free Cranberry-Orange Relish
Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this cranberry-orange relish is the kind of condiment that steals the show at any table. Fresh cranberries simmer down with squeezed orange juice, maple syrup, and warm spices until they burst into a glossy, jammy sauce that smells absolutely incredible. Ceylon cinnamon and ground ginger give it a gentle, aromatic heat that feels a little more refined than your average holiday relish. The orange zest goes in right at the end, keeping that citrus flavor fresh and vibrant rather than cooked off. Store-bought versions often sneak in unexpected additives, so making your own means you know exactly what's in the jar. It thickens beautifully as it cools, so you can make it ahead and pull it straight from the fridge when you're ready to serve.
