Fresh Cranberry Salsa

Tart and sweet, cranberries are a wonderful holiday time berry!  Raw cranberries are high in vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants.  This is a great recipe to show off fresh cranberries for an appetizer or as a potluck dish.   This tart, sweet and spicy salsa is always a hit and good for you too! 

Ingredients:

1 bag fresh cranberries

1 bunch cilantro, chopped

2 limes, juiced

1-2 jalapeno (depending on how spicy you like it)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/8 tsp ginger

1 bunch green onions 

salt and pepper to taste

Rinse your cranberries and throw out any old shriveled looking ones.  Cut your green onions into 3 inch pieces and chop up your jalapenos.  Put juice of the two limes, cranberries, cilantro, jalapenos, sugar, ginger and green onions into a food processor and pulse until you reach a good salsa like consistency.  

Add a little salt and pepper to taste.  You can serve this with tortilla chips or over a block of cream cheese with crackers.  Let the salsa sit in the fridge over night and it will taste even better the next day.  Happy Holidays!
