Fresh Cranberry Salsa

It's cranberry season, so it's time to resurrect one of my favorite recipes. I originally posted it here. If you are a cranberry fan, then it's a MUST try. If you aren't a big fan but like fruit & salsa, then try it out! I had planned on sharing some of this batch with a friend, but I could not stop eating it so I'll have to make another. Serve this at your next holiday party and get rave reviews!!
 Fresh Cranberry Salsa

12 oz package fresh cranberries
1/4 C green onion, chopped
1/4 C cilantro, chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, optional
1 C sugar
1/4 t cumin
2 T juice from lime or lemon
dash salt

I chop the cranberries in the food processor and the rest by hand. Put everything in the bowl and then stir. It's good right away, but even better the next day. I have jalapeno listed as optional, but I recommend at least a little bit. I am sitting here eating this as I type up the post!

  7. Hi, I found this linked to the Holiday Blog Hop of Goodies--I love fresh cranberries, I make a cranberry/orange relish during the holiday that has just a bit of bite to it, but this looks like it takes it to a whole new level. Thanks for sharing!

  17. Diana,
    Yum, cranberries are the best for their color alone! Tart cranberries, sweet sugar, hot jalapenos...winner. I bet is would be good with cinnamon chips to dip. Thanks for sharing.

  29. Spicy! I've never been a fan of cranberry sauce (my mom swears we had it every year, but I don't remember it being there until after I was married!) But I bet Hubby would L-O-V-E your spicy version! My sister and BIL too!
