This recipe will add amazing color to your holiday feast or weeknight dinner. This vivid vegetable-and-fruit combo makes a wonderful side dish for roast chicken or pork and link sausages like bratwurst or Polish sausage. Celery seed adds a distinctive freshness to this combo as it cooks, but if you don't have celery seeds fennel or dill seeds are other complementary spices that will work beautifully here. Red wine vinegar adds bright acidity to balance the sweetness of the apple, but fruit vinegar like apple cider is another fitting option. Use this recipe as a relish too. It is delicious mounded on top of pulled pork in a barbecue sandwich or used instead of sauerkraut in a grilled hot dog.
