Cranberry Salsa is pretty popular in Texas at this time of year -- pretty good if there's enough sugar to combat the tartness of the berries.

Actually, Lynne the first thing I thought of when I read this recipe was how well it would go with a nice piece of white fish or a grilled turkey breast.

Sounds pretty tart, but good. I'd like to try it, although I'd probably add a little sugar to the mix just to give the "sour" taste buds some relief. It probably would be very good on a brined and smoked turkey, too.

What a great idea. Thanks foodnfoto!

This is a recipe I got off the radio in 1994. It's from Madhur Jaffrey, and was on Vertamae Grovesnor's show Seasonings. It goes well with turkey, chicken, or pork. It's especially good as a spread on post-Thanksgiving sandwiches, with or without mayonnaise mixed in:

Garlicky Cranberry Chutney

1 cube fresh ginger (about 1-inch), peeled and julienned
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
4 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, ground
1 can Jellied Cranberry Sauce *

Combine ginger, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and cayenne in a non-reactive pot. Simmer 15 minutes. Add cranberry sauce and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Pour into a clean jar and store in refrigerator. This keeps very well.

* I always use Whole Berry cranberry sauce, and sometimes add extra dried cranberries. Everyone I've served it to loves it!:lips:
