Black Pepper 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 with real orange zest and juice, a drizzle of maple syrup, a whisper of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt — nothing more, nothing less. Many store-bought relishes and spice blends sneak in black pepper or mixed seasoning blends, so making your own from scratch is the cleanest way to keep things safe and delicious. The food processor does most of the work in under a minute, and you're left with a beautifully chunky, jewel-toned relish that looks like it took serious effort. Letting it rest in the fridge for at least an hour is the secret step — the flavors deepen and the texture firms up into something truly special. It's equally at home alongside a holiday roast, spooned over oatmeal, or stirred into a yogurt bowl.
