This salsa is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a few bags in my freezer and this is a great way to use them up.

This is a really versatile salsa. I've used it on tacos, burritos, and even just as a dip with tortilla chips. It's always a hit.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this salsa was surprisingly mild. It had just the right amount of heat.
