It is cranberry season, so it’s time to post one of my favorite recipes. If you are a cranberry fan, then it is a MUST try.

If you are not a big fan but like fruit and salsa, then I think you should still try it.

I had planned on sharing some of this batch with a friend, but I could not stop eating it so I will have to make another.

Serve this at your next holiday party and get rave reviews!! It is so good that this recipe was featured at Redbook Magazine.

Cranberry Salsa

Cranberry season is one of my favorite times of the year. It is such a short season, but I take advantage of it fully. In addition to this salsa, you should check out my popular Fresh Cranberry Relish.

Other recipes that I have made with fresh cranberries include Cranberry Pepper Jam and Instant Oatmeal Cranberry Apple Crisp. Yes, you can say that I am obsessed with cranberries.

It is quite easy to make if you have a food processor or hand chopper. I like to make it up a little ahead of time so that the flavors have a little time to mingle.

It is good right away, but even better the next day. I am not a fan of hot things, but the sweet provides quite a contrast to the pepper so I recommend 2 jalapenos. I am sitting here eating this as I type up the post!

How easy is that? Doesn’t it look fantastic? If you love this, you will also enjoy Cranberry Apple Crisp, Cranberry Apple Muffins, or Cranberry Party Dip.

I would eat this year around if cranberries were always in season. I made it with some fresh cranberries that I froze, but it just did not turn out right. My recommendation is to not use frozen cranberries in a recipe unless you will be cooking it.
