Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallot and jalapeños, stirring often, until shallot is starting to turn golden, about 4 minutes. Add cranberries, honey, and salt and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often and reducing heat as needed to avoid scorching, until cranberries burst, juices are syrupy, and pan is visible when a wooden spoon is dragged across the bottom, 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime zest and juice; let cool.
- Do Ahead
- Sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH CHILES
Heat is an integral aspect of Southwestern cooking, so it's no surprise that local chiles of all kinds accent the flavor of Thanksgiving. Cooks put them in everything from Hatch turkey rubs to chipotle mashed potatoes to chiltepin cranberry sauce, which uses the small, round, fiery hot chiles that are native to Arizona and northern Mexico. You can make this sauce a day ahead and chill it; if it's too stiff for your tastes when you remove it from the fridge, add a little water and sugar, reheat until simmering and then cool once more.

CRANBERRY SAUCE SALSA
Don't toss that little bit of cranberry sauce leftover from Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe, which we developed for a special kids' edition of The New York Times, calls for making it into a savory-sweet salsa that everyone will love. Just add some chopped fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeño to prepared whole cranberry sauce (not the jellied stuff). Stir in some lime zest and juice, and a sprinkling of chile powder, cumin and cayenne. Serve with enchilada pie or tortilla chips, and consider stocking canned cranberry sauce in your cabinet all year long.
