Fresh Cranberry Apple Salsa image

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...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

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.

This salsa is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll add some more jalapenos next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but this salsa is surprisingly good. The apples and spices really balance out the tartness of the cranberries.
