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!
