HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Turn your oven on to 200°C or gas mark 6
2. Take a heavy-bottomed, ovenproof casserole, add a splash of oil, pop onto your hob, gently heat, then add the onion and sweat down, until lovely and soft, but not coloured.
3. Add the ginger and chilli to the pan and stir around to combine all flavours.
4. Pour in the honey and continue cooking for a couple more minutes, until the mixture starts to become sticky (caramelises)…..
5. Next, add the water, (watch out for any spitting and spatting!) saffron threads, vinegar, orange and lime juices. Gently stir around.
6. Add the orange segments, salt, pepper and stir around, being as careful as possible not to break up the oranges.
7. Then immediately take the pan off the heat, open your oven door, pop the pan onto a middle shelf (close the door!) and roast for no more than four or five minutes, until the orange segments take on a little colour.
8. Take the pan out of the oven, sprinkle in the nuts, stir and when cooled slightly, add the fresh mint and stir again.
9. Your relish is now ready…simple, beautiful and warmingly tangy…yum!
