Yeast Free Cranberry-Orange Relish
Bright, tangy, and warmly spiced, this cranberry-orange relish is the kind of condiment that makes a whole table look forward to the meal. Fresh cranberries bubble down with squeezed orange juice, maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, and ground ginger into a glossy, loose jam that smells absolutely incredible on the stovetop. Store-bought versions often sneak in additives or fermented ingredients that can be a problem for anyone avoiding yeast, but every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. The maple syrup brings a gentle, rounded sweetness that plays beautifully against the tartness of the cranberries without tipping the whole thing into candy territory. Stirring in fresh orange zest right at the end keeps the citrus flavor bright and aromatic rather than cooked-off. It thickens up even more as it chills, so you end up with a perfectly spreadable relish that works on everything from a holiday plate to a simple cheese board.
