Cranberry Salsa

By Joanna Pruess. This uncooked cranberry salsa is diametrically opposed to those conventional sweet cranberry sauces that frequently come in cans. Intense and fresh tasting, it is a contemporary-style condiment for turkey or grilled chicken, turkey tacos, or even as a topping for cream cheese spread on crackers.
