CRANBERRY SALSA



Cranberry Salsa image

This Cranberry Salsa with cream cheese is a spicy and sweet combo that is always a hit at parties.

Provided by Christy Denney

Categories     Appetizer

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces fresh cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar ((add more to taste))
1 jalapeno (, seeded and chopped coarsely (leave the seeds in if you like it spicy))
1/2 cup cilantro
4 green onions
2 tablespoons lime juice
pinch of salt
2 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese

Steps:

  • Place all of the ingredients in a food processor (EXCEPT CREAM CHEESE) and pulse until desired consistency. I like mine fairly fine. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) to allow the salsa to macerate. Serve over cream cheese and with crackers.
  • This makes enough to cover two blocks of cream cheese. Some people prefer to spread the cream cheese on a serving dish with the salsa on top. I prefer to just pour it on top of a block of cream cheese.
  • Depending on how tart your cranberries are you may want to add more sugar. This last batch I added a total of 1 cup of sugar.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and have a deep red color. Avoid cranberries that are soft, bruised, or have any signs of mold.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Chop the cranberries finely: This will help the salsa to have a more even consistency.
  • Use a sharp knife to chop the onions and peppers: This will help to prevent them from tearing.
  • Add the cream cheese to the salsa just before serving: This will help to keep the cream cheese from melting.
  • Serve the salsa with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetables: Cranberry salsa is a great appetizer or snack.

Conclusion:

Cranberry salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. With its sweet and tangy flavor, cranberry salsa is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
