We had a Thanksgiving dinner with Devin's co-workers a few weeks ago, and one of the appetizers brought was this cranberry salsa. I thought it was going to be a sweet, fruit salsa, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it was actual salsa - delicious salsa at that! This recipe is so easy (of course it is, because that's all i do!) and is so impressive. It smells amazing, it's so pretty, and it tastes absolutely amazing. I promise you'll love it, just try it! This recipe is from Ellen Leis, a friend of a friend (thanks for getting me the recipe, Chris!).
I've already made a double batch of this, to eat over the weekend, (and we used it as an appetizer last weekend for dinner with friends), and we sent a few jars to friends and family, but I plan on making another double batch to bring to every Christmas Party we go to next week!
Ingredients:
1lb Cranberries (1.25 bags)
4 jalepeno peppers (I'm not a fan of spicy, so 2 was plenty for me, and if you include the seeds, it will have a serious kick)
4 green onions
Cilantro (to taste, I probably did about 4 tablespoons, maybe more)
1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon*
Directions:
1. Place cranberries in a food processor (or blender) and run until pieces are chopped to desired consistency. Remove cranberries to a mixing bowl and add sugar; stir until dissolved (sugar will cut the bitter taste from the cranberries)
2. Add jalapenos, green onions and cilantro (all finely chopped)
3. Squeeze lemon juice over salsa and incorporate.
4. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers. Keep refrigerated.
