FRESH CRANBERRY APPLE SALSA

Last year a friend asked me for a cranberry salsa recipe. Since I had never heard of it but liked the sound of it, I searched the net. My foodie friend Diane had one posted and I used several of her ingredients and I used a combo of several different recipes. I liked the idea of apple in it and the fresh ginger in Diane's recipe...

Ingredients

1 - 12oz bag(s) fresh cranberries, washed, sorted, and shake excess water off
1 lg or 2 small granny smith apples, peeled and cut in chunks
1/2 red bell pepper seeded and cut in chunks
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and cut in chunks
1 medium red onion, peeled & cut in chunks
1/4 c diced green onions, small
1/4 c fresh chopped cilantro leaves
1/3 - 1/2 c sugar or stevia (i use a combo of both) start with less and add to your taste
2 - 3 medium jalapenos, seeded and cut up..amt depending on the heat you desire
1/2 to 1 c orange or apple juice (i have used both with great results)
juice and zest of 1 lime (add to your taste)
1 inch fresh peeled & grated ginger (approx 1 tbl)
1 - 2 tsp red pepper flakes
salt & pepper to taste
1 - 2 - 8 oz blocks of creamed cheese to serve salsa over

Steps:

1. Wash and prepare all produce. Dry off as much moisture as possible. In food processor bowl pulse cranberries, apple, bell peppers, red onion, and jalapeno to desired consistency. I like mine pretty small. Finely dice green onions and cilantro and grate ginger by hand to retain it's structure.
2. Mix all together in large bowl..adding remaining ingredients. Let marry, covered in fridge for a few hours. Serve over a block of creamed cheese with plain tortilla chips. I like to make apps with Tostito's Scoops, creamed cheese, and salsa on top. Yummm!
3. I have not made cranberry sauce since I started making this salsa. It's more to my family's liking. Try it on a turkey sandwich instead of cranberry sauce. I think you will love it as much as I do.
