Printable Recipe: Cranberry Salsa

Cranberry Salsa

This is quite a twist on your traditional cranberry sauce for turkey. The combination of fresh and dried cranberries give it a wonderful texture, and the flavor is sharp, spicy, and really wonderful. Because the cranberries aren't cooked with sugar --in fact, they're not cooked at all-- this cranberry salsa is very tangy. Try it as a garnish for a southwestern themed turkey dinner.
