We like making this relish all throughout the winter season – cranberries are so healthful that it’s a good idea to eat as many as you can while they’re in season. This relish can be a condiment for your meals throughout the season.
This relish is raw, so it contains enzymes that aid in digestion. It is also free of refined sugar, coloring and preservatives. It’s the perfect recipe to add antioxidants and enzymes to your holiday meal!
Health Benefits:
- Cranberries and oranges are both high in vitamin c, an important nutrient for proper immune function.
- Cranberries can contribute to a lowered risk of urinary tract infections, prevention of certain types of cancer, improved immune function, decreased blood pressure and more.
- Cranberries also contain vitamin K, manganese and a large array of phytonutrients and antioxidants that help reverse the effects of free radicals and inflammation.
- Raw honey that has been left in its natural state contains beneficial nutrients including mineral-rich pollen, enzymes, antioxidants and many other beneficial compounds that researchers are just beginning to learn about.
- The enzymes found in raw honey can help some people digest food more easily.
***Be sure not to give any honey, either raw or treated, to a child under the age of 12 months.
