High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Vegan Cranberry Orange Relish
Bright, tangy, and bursting with fresh citrus, this cranberry orange relish is the kind of condiment that steals the show at any table. Most store-bought versions are loaded with high fructose corn syrup — it's practically the first ingredient on the label — so making your own is the smartest move if you're trying to avoid it. Here, maple syrup does all the sweetening, bringing a subtle depth that pairs beautifully with the natural tartness of the cranberries and the fragrant orange zest. A pinch of cinnamon ties everything together without overpowering the fresh fruit flavor. The food processor does the heavy lifting, and a quick pulse is all it takes to get that perfect chunky texture — no cooking required. After an hour in the fridge, the flavors meld into something that tastes far more impressive than the minimal effort involved. Spoon it over a holiday roast, swirl it into yogurt, or spread it on toast — this little jar of relish earns its place every single time.
