Zingy Cranberry and Orange Relish

Cranberry and Orange Relish with added Zing! Sharp but sweet and tangy our handmade Cranberry & Orange Relish is the perfect accompaniment for your Christmas Dinner, the Boxing Day Sandwich or an easy relish to make all year round. It is so tasty on a classic Bacon, Brie and Cranberry Sandwich. We just love the addition of larger zest strands, and the freshly squeezed Orange juice giving you another zesty flavour layer. Richness is provided with the extra addition of Port but this is optional and can easily be replaced with more Orange or Apple juice if preferred.
