CRANBERRY SALSA

Wisconsin grows an abundance of cranberries and celebrates the harvest with many cranberry festivals. I don't remember where I obtained this recipe, but it's easy, different...and good! Try it with pork or leftover turkey.

VAL'S CRANBERRY SALSA



Val's Cranberry Salsa image

My friend Val shared this recipe with me last year. It is a new favorite, and one that I plan on taking many places over the holiday season, as it is different. Best served with Wheat Thins, this salsa is yummy and a must try! The original recipe called for a 1 pound package of cranberries; I've found that fresh cranberries are now packaged in 12 oz. portions, and this size works. Don't forget to allow time for chilling, to allow flavors to develop...This will make enough for 2 blocks of cream cheese, so you have 1 to serve, and 1 to share!

CRANBERRY SALSA (CANNED)



Cranberry Salsa (Canned) image

I love salsa and am always experimenting with combinations of veggies and fruits. Fresh salsa is great but it is also nice to be able to can all that fresh goodness from the garden to eat in the dead of winter. Being from Wisconsin, I just had to come up with a recipe using cranberries and this is what I came up with. I use a mixture of hot peppers and seed some but not all of them since I like things hot. I also measure the cranberries, then give them a rough chop in my food processor before adding them. I think I will add some fresh lime juice to my next batch for a little flavor boost.
