Cranberry Salsa

i have no idea what redeeming quality this has, but i made it a few years ago on a whim and my family and friends really like it so i thought i'd share this insanely simple recipe. Let me clarify: They REALLY like this stuff - like... beg for it like it has secret ingredients or something! weird.

Yes, it's made with the canned stuff and it's not good for you... since when was that the point? my guess is that it satisfies the sweet/savory/salty/crunch thing all in one bite. Wow, makes it sound like PMS food! LoL Ok, here it is:

CRANBERRY SALSA

1 16oz. can Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
1/4 C. canned, chopped Jalapenos (or fire roasted chilis)
1 Scallion, sliced to thin circles, green & white
1 tsp. dried Cilantro
1 tsp. Ground Cumin
1 tsp. Fresh Lime Juice

Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Cover and chill.
Serve with bite sized tortilla chips or as a condiment for poultry or pork.
Store refrigerated for up to 1 week. Makes about 2 cups.

Double amount for fresh Cilantro. Can substitute Parsley if you want.

Oh, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! :)
