Tree Nut Free Vegan Cranberry Orange Relish
Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this cranberry orange relish is the kind of condiment that steals the show at any table. Fresh cranberries get pulsed in a food processor with orange zest, orange juice, maple syrup, a touch of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt — no cooking required, just a few quick bursts and you're done. The result is a beautifully chunky, jewel-toned relish with real citrus punch and a natural sweetness that doesn't tip into cloying territory. Store-bought versions often sneak in refined sugars or mystery additives, but every ingredient here is clean, simple, and easy to verify. Since the whole recipe is built around fresh fruit, citrus, and maple syrup, it's naturally free from any nut-derived oils or hidden allergens that can make packaged condiments tricky. A short rest in the fridge lets the flavors meld and the texture firm up just slightly, making it even better the next day. Make a jar ahead of time and you'll have a vibrant, crowd-pleasing relish ready to go whenever you need it.
