Food Friday- Keep the cranberries going past Thanksgiving

This is a slight variation on the cranberry salsa recipe I received from a friend. It is a no cook option, which may make it a bit more tart. I am going to try it today. I make cranberry salsa in the fall and over the Christmas holidays, great with tortilla chips and I even serve it with turkey dinner. Recipe below from allrecipes.com

Ingredients: 1 (12 oz) bag of cranberries, 1 bunch cilantro chopped (vary this according to your tastes), 1 bunch green onions, cut into 3 inch lengths, 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, 2 limes juiced, 3/4 cup sugar (I used less), 1 pinch salt.

Directions: Combine ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with medium blade. Chop to medium consistency. Refrigerate if not using immediately. Serve at room temperature.

Although this is not a food blog, food is a way to connect with both your new home and your old home. In this case a recipe reminds me of a dear friend who is also a trailing spouse. For food farther afield check out:
