I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salsa turned out really watery. I think I must have added too much orange juice.

This salsa is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the day before my party and it was even better the next day.

I wasn't a fan of the cilantro in this salsa. I think it overpowered the other flavors.

This salsa is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try adding some jalapeños next time to give it a little kick.

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag in my freezer, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them.
