When I was planning this idea, I didn’t expect it would turn out so delicious.

First, the onions get quickly caramelized with the butter and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, honey, rosemary, and almonds. Then add the fresh and dried (For the added sweetness) cranberries and freshly grated nutmeg and cook until juicy, thick. and shiny. The aroma that spreads in the kitchen is phenomenal! So Christmassy and delightful, as I mentioned earlier, you can enjoy this relish just with a spoon (That’s what we did with most of it.)

    I love a good relish, and I agree this one definitely deserves it’s own spot. I love that it looks so bejewelled and imagine myself smothering cheese in this.
