There are a lot of different ways to make this, google it and you'll see what I mean, but this recipe suits my tastes just fine. It's really easy to make - there's no cooking, only chopping involved. I've modified it a little from the original recipe my mom uses. Here's how it goes:
Cranberry-Jalapeno Relish
1 bag of cranberries
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
zest and juice of 1/2 lime
1/3 bunch of cilantro
1/2 cup sugar
cream cheese
crackers
Finely chop up the cranberries, jalapeno, and cilantro in a food processor. Stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and sugar. Chill for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld, then serve on crackers topped with cream cheese.
Mmmm. Super delicious and flavorful.
Notes: Instead of making up individual crackers for an appetizer tray, this can also be served by pouring the cranberry relish over the cream cheese with the crackers on the side. I've also made this with frozen cranberries, and it comes out just as well as with the fresh. You can also add more or less of any of the ingredients. I really cut back on the cilantro since a little of that flavor goes a long way with me. If you want it spicier or sweeter add more jalapenos or sugar.
