Gluten 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 real orange zest and juice, a drizzle of maple syrup, a whisper of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt — that's genuinely all it takes. The food processor does the heavy lifting, and a quick chill in the fridge lets everything come together into a chunky, jewel-toned relish that tastes far more impressive than the effort involved. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, there's no label-scanning or ingredient-swapping required — just whole, simple foods doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The maple syrup adds a gentle depth that refined sugar can't quite match, and you can nudge the sweetness up or down to suit your crowd. Make it a day ahead and it only gets better, which means one less thing to stress about when the rest of the meal is in full swing. Spoon it over a roast, pile it onto a grain bowl, or eat it straight from the jar — no judgment here.
