Salsa is my go-to snack and always such a crowd pleaser when you’re entertaining. This just LOOKS like the holidays, doesn’t it?? Gorgeous cranberry red, green from cilantro and jalapeño and green onions….It combines simmered, softened cranberries with the crunch of fresh cranberries chopped in the food processor. You have to add some sugar so they’re not too bitter. The recipe is easy and you can always get creative and fold it into rice for a little cranberry flavor. I love serving it with shrimp to dip into the delish!
