Cranberry Salsa



You can make this in minutes in your food processor, this sweet-tangy cranberry salsa gets its heat from a jalapeno pepper combined with chopped cilantro, green onions, lime juice, and sugar. I've noticed some recipes also call for a tsp. of cumin, but I prefer it without. After you make it, just spread it over a block of cream cheese and then use your favorite cracker to spread it on. Simply delicious and it looks very festive for Christmas!

Ingredients:
1 (12 oz) bag of cranberries, fresh or frozen
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 limes, juiced
3/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt

Directions:
Combine cranberries, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a medium blade. Chop to medium consistency. Refrigerate if not using immediately. Serve at room temperature.
