Cranberry Salsa

Adaptable and easily tweakable to be made your own. I lean more savory. Some like it sweeter.

These will go great with Wonton Cups to serve.

Something different for Thanksgiving.
Prep Time20 minutes
Course: Appetizer

Equipment

  • Food processor (makes things much easier)

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries (1 bag)
  • 2-4 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped (½ cup?)
  • 1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped (1 bunch)
  • 1-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup beets, cooked, cooled, and finely chopped (optional…ick)

Serving

  • crackers or won ton cups
  • fresh ricotta or other soft cheese

Instructions

  • Put the cranberries in a food processor with the agave or syrup and pulse until the cranberries are finely chopped.
  • Transfer to a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix well and season to taste.
  • Chill at least 30 minutes
  • Add cheese of choice to cracker or won ton cup. Top with salsa.

Update: I can’t say this is worth it. We’ve tried it with different cheeses, tried upping the heat, tried upping the acid. Just…meh.
