My co-worker had this recipe in her Taste of Home magazine and I, intrigued, quickly copied it down. It sounded like a easy to make, delicious alternative to summer’s salsas and a great way to use the seasonal fruits (cranberries) that are available now.
This is whipped up in the food processor so it couldn't be any easier. It was sweet and tangy while the flavor of the lime really brightened it up. It also has that cinnamon-cumin flavor combo that I love!
It was delicious with chips, but it would also be excellent with some cream cheese on a butter cracker like Ritz. Then you would have that sweet, sour, creamy, salty thing going on. And I bet it would make a wonderful and unique filling in a Butterflied Pork Loin.
I made this last Friday for a potluck and it was a huge hit. Everyone wanted the recipe. I’ll be making it again this week for us at home.
If your looking for something a little unique, but ultimately delicious, then you found it right here. Fresh Cranberry Salsa!

ReplyDeleteMegan, how cool is that? A cranberry salsa. It sounds delicious. Have a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, that does sound pretty wild! But I checked it out, and I think I like it. That sweet and spice (heatwise) sounds like a real winner. Add a little zing for the winter :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting salsa! I like the idea of cream cheese on a cracker with this salsa...it's gotta be good :)
ReplyDeleteI just made cranberry mango chutney today...how love craberries...and cranberry salsa is so yummy!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm maybe if I left out the cilantro...that stuff tastes like soapy grass to me ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't get it with these sweet salsa's. I like savory, garlic salsa's and that's how they are traditionally made in Mexico. I'm telling you, cranberry salsa you're not going to find in the home country Mexico.
ReplyDeleteMegan, this sounds sensational. I agree, would be perfect with cream cheese and a buttery cracker. Oh my!!
