Cranberry Salsa

I’m always looking for new twists on old favorites, and this is one that I came across several years ago that has become a Holiday staple for our family. I make it for gatherings this time of year, and it’s always a hit. I personally like this with goat cheese, but it also is great with just plain tortillas and you can serve it any way you can serve regular salsa.

Ingredients:

• 1 (12-ounce) bag Fresh Cranberries

• ¾ cup Sugar, Honey, or Maple Syrup

• ½ cup Water

• 1 (or more) Jalapeño or Habanero, seeded and diced

• ¼ cup Green Onion, diced

• 1 tbsp Lime Juice (or more to taste)

• ½ tsp Salt

• ¼ tsp Cumin, ground

• ¼ cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  
  

Directions:

1. Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

2. Add cranberries and return to a boil. Gently boil cranberries for 10 minutes without stirring.

3. Pour into a medium mixing bowl. Gently stir in remaining ingredients while cranberries are still warm.

4. Cool at room temperature and refrigerate. Best if served at room temperature.
