Chicken Free Vegan Cranberry Orange Relish
Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this cranberry orange relish is the kind of condiment that steals the show on any holiday table. Fresh cranberries get pulsed with navel orange zest and juice, a drizzle of maple syrup, a whisper of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt — nothing more, nothing less. The food processor does the heavy lifting in under a minute, giving you a beautifully chunky texture that's far more interesting than anything that slides out of a can. Maple syrup does double duty here, adding natural sweetness while keeping the whole recipe completely plant-based. A quick chill in the fridge lets the flavors bloom and the relish thicken up just slightly, so it scoops and spreads like a dream. It's endlessly versatile — spoon it over roasted vegetables, swirl it into oatmeal, or serve it alongside your favorite grain dishes.
