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.

This Welsh farmhouse classic was traditionally baked on a plate, and is best served with a lovely cup of tea. We’ve pimped up the traditional recipe a little and added extra zest and zing with a glaze of our Seville Orange Marmalade

For many the bun marks the end of Lent and different parts of the hot cross bun have special meanings, including the piped cross representing the crucifixion of Jesus. The spices inside signify the spices used to embalm him at his burial. Whatever your beliefs, they are largely available all year round and with our rich recipe they are the perfect sweet treat to enjoy making as a family together, especially at this time of year
