Recently I was looking for a yummy fall hors d'oeuvres and came across a recipe for cranberry salsa. The reviews were fabulous so I decided to give it a try and tweaked the recipe a bit. Do yourself a favor and make this recipe. You will blow your family's mind at Thanksgiving. Plus, it makes a delicious relish for leftover turkey sandwiches. Here is my version:
Cranberry Salsa:
1 bag of cranberries, rinsed
1 navel orange, (zest beforehand) and chopped
1 1/2 T. crystallized ginger (coarsely chopped)
2 jalapeno peppers (seeded and chopped)
3/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2-3/4 cup sugar to taste
Chop (finely) the cranberries in the food processor. Remove to a bowl. Put all the other pre-chopped ingredients into the food processor with the sugar. Once blended mix all in the bowl. Chill for at least two hours. Enjoy with tortilla chips.
My food processor died a few years ago, so I just ordered one on Amazon specifically to make this salsa! Great idea and will be a hit at thanksgiving. No one likes cranberry sauce anyway
