Nutmeg 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 in under a minute, leaving you with a beautifully chunky texture that's far more interesting than anything from a can. Because the ingredient list is so clean and intentional, there's no need to scan labels for hidden spices or worry about unwanted additions sneaking in. Nutmeg, which shows up in a surprising number of holiday relishes and spiced fruit dishes, simply isn't here — and the flavor doesn't miss it for a second. The orange and cinnamon carry all the warmth you need, while the maple syrup rounds out the tartness in the most natural way. Make it at least an hour ahead and let it chill so the flavors can come together into something truly special.
