How to Make Cranberry Jalapeno Sauce

This zesty Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce is a delicious change from the ordinary. There are lots of variations that can be done to this sauce so use your imagination. You can also add a nice garnish to your sauce at the time of serving it with a few slices of lime.

Instructions

1. Step 1 – In a medium saucepan, mix water and sugar. Bring to a boil.
2. Step 2 – Add berries. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes without stirring. Pour into another bowl to cool.
3. Step 3 – Chop the green onion – including the greens, the jalapeno, and the cilantro. Add this to the berry mixture. Add the cumin and fresh lime juice. It’s ready!
4. Step 4 – You can substitute canned cranberries or cranberry sauce for the fresh and just omit the water and sugar and begin the recipe from Step 3. You can also substitute Coriander for the fresh cilantro if you don’t have any fresh on hand.

• This is best if made the day before, but it’s still great fresh from the kitchen. Refrigerate overnight if you make the night before.
• Vegetarians can use this sauce on any meatless Thanksgiving entree as well.
• Use caution with the jalapeno seeds. Wash hands thoroughly after slicing any peppers.
