Cranberry and Celery Relish

This vibrant cranberry and celery relish offers a sophisticated twist on the traditional festive condiment. By combining the natural tartness of fresh cranberries with the refreshing crunch of celery and toasted almonds, it creates a texturally diverse side dish that cuts through rich meats beautifully. This low-sugar version is simmered until the berries just burst, ensuring a jammy consistency that remains bright and balanced rather than cloyingly sweet.

Perfect for a Sunday roast or as a centrepiece for a Christmas feast, this versatile relish is a heart-healthy addition to your table. The inclusion of celery leaves as a garnish adds a subtle peppery note, while the almonds provide a nutty finish. It is best prepared in advance and chilled, simply stirring through the crunchy elements just before serving to maintain their bite.
