Best Gingered Cran Orange Salsa Over Cream Cheese Recipes

Provided by Christy Denney

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces fresh cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar ((add more to taste))
1 jalapeno (, seeded and chopped coarsely (leave the seeds in if you like it spicy))
1/2 cup cilantro
4 green onions
2 tablespoons lime juice
pinch of salt
2 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese

Steps:

Place all of the ingredients in a food processor (EXCEPT CREAM CHEESE) and pulse until desired consistency. I like mine fairly fine. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) to allow the salsa to macerate. Serve over cream cheese and with crackers.
This makes enough to cover two blocks of cream cheese. Some people prefer to spread the cream cheese on a serving dish with the salsa on top. I prefer to just pour it on top of a block of cream cheese.
Depending on how tart your cranberries are you may want to add more sugar. This last batch I added a total of 1 cup of sugar.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces cranberries
1/4 cup sliced green onions
2 jalapeños (minced)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves (minced)
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

Rinse, drain, and pick over cranberries, (discarding all that are soft or bruised). Place cranberries in a food processor or blender; pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
Place crushed cranberries in a bowl; mix together with green onions, jalapeños, cilantro leaves, and ginger. Pour lemon juice and sugar over and stir together.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate and allow flavors to develop. It will be a bit tart to begin with, but as it is allowed to sit it will develop even more flavor.
Can be served as a plain salsa, but is amazing served over cream cheese with crackers.
