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.

Tips for Making Cranberry-Orange-Cilantro Salsa
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not be as tart or flavorful.
- If you don't have any oranges on hand, you can substitute another citrus fruit, such as grapefruit or lemon.
- Be sure to chop the cilantro finely. This will help to distribute its flavor throughout the salsa.
- If you like a spicy salsa, you can add a jalapeño pepper or two. Just be sure to remove the seeds first.
- Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
