CRANBERRY SAUCE SALSA



Cranberry Sauce Salsa image

Don't toss that little bit of cranberry sauce leftover from Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe, which we developed for a special kids' edition of The New York Times, calls for making it into a savory-sweet salsa that everyone will love. Just add some chopped fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeño to prepared whole cranberry sauce (not the jellied stuff). Stir in some lime zest and juice, and a sprinkling of chile powder, cumin and cayenne. Serve with enchilada pie or tortilla chips, and consider stocking canned cranberry sauce in your cabinet all year long.

FRUITY TOMATO-CRANBERRY SALSA



Fruity Tomato-Cranberry Salsa image

This recipe was given to me in part by a very dear friend in New Mexico many years ago- I'd say about 48 years ago. I have since tweaked it a bit to get the flavor just the way I like it... I hope you like this recipe and use it for the holidays or for those ball games on TV. This is great served with pork chops, baked ham, grilled chicken, and of course the turkey bird-and your favorite tortilla chips-- try it as a sandwich spread too! Just enjoy!

1 jalapeno, coarsely chopped
1/2 white onion coarsely chopped, covered and microwaved for 1 minute
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup Mexican-flavored canned tomatoes, drained and chopped

Serving suggestion: Serve with Turkey Taquitos, recipe follows.
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked turkey
1 1/2 cups shredded jack cheese
1/2 cup Mexican-flavored canned tomatoes, drained and chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
18 white or yellow corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Place the cranberry sauce, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, onion, red pepper, green pepper, tomatoes, and salt, and pepper, to taste in a food processor and pulse until blended, but still chunky. Serve with Turkey Taquitos.
  • Sweat the onion, garlic, and jalapeno in a saute pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Remove from the heat and add to a large bowl. To the bowl, add the shredded turkey, cheese, tomatoes and season with salt, and pepper, to taste. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds so they are pliable.
  • Fill the tortillas with a tablespoon of filling and roll into a thin taquito, securing with a toothpick. Keep the taquitos covered with a damp towel before cooking otherwise the corn tortillas will dry out and crack. Heat 2 cups oil in a straight-sided pan to 350 degrees F. Place the taquitos in the hot oil in batches and shallow fry until crisp, rolling to cook all sides, about 3 minutes.
  • Drain the taquitos on paper towels and salt. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

SWEET AND TART CRANBERRY SALSA



Sweet and Tart Cranberry Salsa image

This versatile Mexican-style salsa is great as an appetizer, a side sauce, or even as a dressing for fruit. Simple, fresh recipe for cranberry salsa.

Provided by Robin Grose

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 15m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium onion
1 bunch cilantro
2 jalapeños (fresh, or serrano chiles to taste)
12 ounces / 340 grams cranberries (fresh, approx. 3 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Chop the onion and place it in a strainer. Rinse it for a few seconds under running water. Shake off water and set aside. This rinsing of the onion is done in order to soften its flavor without sacrificing texture in the finished product; omit this step if you prefer a strongly onion-flavored salsa.
  • Cut the roots off the cilantro. Chop the cilantro, leaves, and stems together.
  • Cut the stems off the chile peppers. Open them up and remove the seeds and veins if you prefer a milder salsa; leave them if you would like it very spicy. Dice the chile flesh.
  • Place all the chopped ingredients into a blender or food processor. Add the cranberries, sugar, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Pulse (turning the device on and off rapidly) a few times, until all the ingredients are very finely chopped. Stop before liquefying completely. Move the ingredients around with a spoon between pulses in order to get a homogenous blend. Work slowly and patiently to achieve a good salsa texture and to avoid ending up with a spiritless puree.
  • Pour your salsa into a glass jar or ceramic serving dish. This can be served immediately, but I always find it tastier after having sat for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Store your delicious cranberry salsa in the fridge. Take it out and let it sit at room temperature for half an hour or so before serving.
  • Enjoy.

FRUIT & TOMATO SALSA



Fruit & Tomato Salsa image

This is a spicy, fruity salsa . We use it with chips, of course, but it can be a condiment with meat dishes as well. My family and friends eat it by the jar; we love the sweet and spicy combination! It is mild to medium in heat, but it is easy to adjust for taste. You can "cheat " by adding tomato paste to thicken, if too runny.
