FRESH CRANBERRY SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries then transfer them to a food processor. Pulse a few times to finely chop them. Do not overprocess.
• Transfer the chopped cranberries to a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients (jalapeno, shallot, green onion, cilantro, mint, sugar, vinegar, honey, lime juice and zest, and salt and pepper).
• Mix well. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour to let the flavors mingle. It's even better the next day.

SPICY CRANBERRY SALSA

Steps:

• Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Chop 1 cup raw cranberries in a food processor and add to cranberry sauce. Stir in 1 thinly sliced jalapeno, 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1 teaspoon each honey and salt. Let cool to room temperature. Just before serving, add 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.
