I have been busy with work and other projects. I have been needing to make some homemade cranberry sauce for thanksgiving dinner.

I figured I’d show how I did it.

I'm thinking about this one this year.

Cranberry Salsa


Fresh cranberries are minced up with jalapeno into a healthy, fresh, and vibrant salsa.

Yield: serves a party
Ingredients
12 oz cranberries
¼ cup sliced green onions
2 jalapeños, minced
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup sugar
Instructions
1. Rinse, drain, and pick over cranberries, (discarding all that are soft or bruised). Place cranberries in a food processor or blender; pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
2. Place crushed cranberries in a bowl; mix together with green onions, jalapeños, cilantro leaves, and ginger. Pour lemon juice and sugar over and stir together.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate and allow flavors to develop. It will be a bit tart to begin with, but as it is allowed to sit it will develop even more flavor.
4. Can be served as a plain salsa, but is amazing served over cream cheese with crackers.

Wife likes cranberry sauce. Am I the only one that doesn't like them?
The only way I've ever been able to stand cranberry anything is with cranberry/apple drinks ... and I love those, go figure.

Don't feel like the lone ranger. Never could stand that stuff lol. Now cranberry and vodka ain't a bad mix at all.

Only time I ever eat cranberry anything is around this time of year. I like it but for me it's a Thanksgiving thing. I showed my lovely wife the recipes and just found out she loves cranberries. We've been married almost 17 years. I have selective hearing I suppose.
Gonna try the salsa JK. Neither of us had heard of this before and I think it will be something new to bring for the feast.
