Legume 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 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. The food processor does the heavy lifting, and a quick chill in the fridge lets all those bold flavors come together into something that tastes far more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Because every component here is a whole fruit, a spice, or a natural sweetener, there's nothing hidden to worry about — no legumes, no fillers, no surprises. The chunky texture is key, so the recipe calls for short pulses rather than a full blend, giving you that satisfying mix of burst cranberry and citrusy syrup in every spoonful. It works beautifully alongside roasted vegetables, grain dishes, or anywhere you'd want a punchy, jewel-toned pop of flavor. Make a jar ahead of time and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
