Cranberry Sauce With Chiles image

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. (And for everything you need to know about cranberry sauce, check out our cranberry sauce guide.)

Zest of 2 limes (2 teaspoons), divided
1 to 2 dried chiltepin, chile pequin or bird chiles, to taste, crushed in a spice mill or a mortar and pestle, or 1/2 teaspoon crushed chile pequin
1 1/4 pounds cranberries (4 1/2 cups)
Zest of 1/2 orange
3/4 cup sugar, more to taste
2 cloves, crushed in a mortar and pestle or ground in a spice mill

This cranberry sauce is a delicious twist on the classic. The heat from the chiles is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the cranberries. I served it with roasted turkey and mashed potatoes, and it was a hit with everyone at the table.
