How to Prepare Caper-Currant Relish [Vegan]

In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir gently until everything is mixed well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Allow the flavors to develop for at least 10 minutes.

Notes

To toast pine nuts, simply warm them in a small, dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally to ensure they don’t burn, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer them to a plate to cool.
