What Can I Bring?
Perfect for: Holiday parties and gatherings
Make and take: Assemble, chill and carry. No cooking is required.
Serve this easy dip with corn chips -- blue chips are fun.
A new addition: If your family is one of those that insists on serving the canned cranberry sauce out of a sense of tradition, then try adding this recipe to the appetizers -- and let the jellied red rings remain. Or you can serve this as a relish alongside smoked or grilled turkey meat.
Tip: In other seasons, if you can't find fresh or frozen cranberries, soak 2 1/4 cups dried cranberries in the orange juice. Because dried cranberries are often sweetened, you may reduce the honey to taste.
Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes Serves: 12
Ingredients:
-
12 ounces (3 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries, washed
4 to 5 medium scallions, roughly chopped
3 cups loosely packed cilantro leaves
2 cups loosely packed fresh mint leaves
2 to 3 tablespoons seeded and chopped jalapeno peppers
1/2 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 to 3 drops hot sauce, or to taste
Instructions:
Place the cranberries in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the cranberries to a medium bowl. Set aside. In the food processor, combine the scallions, cilantro, mint, jalapenos and orange zest and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to the bowl with the cranberries and toss to mix.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, orange and lime juices, and hot sauce. Pour the mixture over the salsa, toss to combine, then chill for at least 1 hour before serving. -- Adapted from The Associated Press
