Apples and cranberries give this salsa a holiday flavor, while garlic and jalapenos give it just the kick salsa needs. You can serve it up as a dip with chips, like a regular salsa, or as a complement to meat dishes. Sometimes I substitute half the sugar with Splenda to lessen the calories. Works and tastes great! -Pam Leni, Rockford, Illinois
