Number Of Ingredients 11

FOR THE CRANBERRY SAUCE:
1 cup(s) good water
1 cup(s) granulated white sugar
3/4 pound(s) fresh cranberries (or a 12-ounce package of frozen cranberries)
TO TRANSFORM IT INTO CRANBERRY SALSA:
2 medium jalapeƱos, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh cilantro (or 1 teaspoon dried cilantro flakes)
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin (freshly ground if possible - it does make a difference!)
2 - green onions, thinly sliced
1 pinch(es) ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine the water and sugar. Bring it to a boil, being sure all the sugar dissolves. Add the cranberries and return the pan to a boil. (You might begin hearing the berries begin to "pop".) Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 10 minutes without stirring. Pour the sauce into a bowl and allow it to cool. Cover and refrigerate it until it's time to serve.
  • To make the sauce into salsa: Once cooled, add the jalapeƱos, cilantro, cumin, green onions, cinnamon and lime juice and mix lightly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to fester, stirring before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
