Almond Free Vegan 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 get pulsed in a food processor with orange zest, orange juice, maple syrup, a touch of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt — no cooking required, just a few quick bursts and you're done. The result is a beautifully chunky, jewel-toned relish that tastes far more complex than its short ingredient list suggests. Maple syrup does the sweetening here, keeping things completely plant-based while adding a subtle depth that plain sugar just can't match. A short rest in the fridge lets the flavors meld and the texture settle into something scoopable and satisfying. It's naturally free from nuts of any kind, so there's no need to scrutinize store-bought labels or worry about what's hiding in a pre-made version. Make a jar ahead of time and you'll find yourself reaching for it well beyond the holiday spread.
