It’s a wonderful time of year to indulge in autumn seasonal vegetables and fruits that are rich in flavor and nutritious. Many family traditions and recipes make their annual debut for this momentous family meal. There are definitely “keepers,” but many recipes could benefit from a healthy makeover to boost the nutrition and keep the flavor.
Turkey is the center of the table in many homes, but the sides play a big role in the success of the meal. We took on the challenge of replacing the timeless cranberry jelly mold with a fresh cranberry orange relish to awaken your taste buds.
Cranberries are a super fruit that is ultra-tart and typically edible with a lot of added sugar. High in antioxidants to boost the immune system, fresh is best! We paired it with a naval orange and agave nectar to sweeten this side dish, perfect for Thanksgiving or as a spread in the winter months ahead. The best part of this recipe is that it’s very easy to make! Enjoy.
