Jalapeno Cranberry Salsa

jalapeno-cranberry-salsa

This jalapeno cranberry salsa was such a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner this year, that we’re making again for Christmas. I wasn’t able to get my shit together until now to post this recipe for you guys, but I guess better late than never, yeah?

This versatile salsa is great as an appetizer served with your favorite cheese spread and chips or crackers. My mom makes her famous cheese platter with dried fruit, ALL the cheeses- think goat cheese, brie, cream cheese, etc, persimmons, and nuts. We also served it alongside the cooked cranberry sauce as another option with the roasted turkey, and it was amaze! I wonder how it would be with some pork tenderloins??

Anyway..

If you have a food processor handy, you’ll definitely want to bust it out to save your hands from a lot of dicing and chopping. This recipe only takes about 10 minutes to prepare, but you’ll want the flavors to mingle for about 4 hours or overnight if you have time.
