Notes & Options:
There are lots of ways to modify this cranberry sauce to spruce it up, down or just change it to suit your palate. You can try:
– Adding 2 tablespoons of orange liqueur (or apple juice) to give it some sweetness. Cranberries are sour naturally so the liqueur helps give the salsa a sweeter taste to balance the berry tartness.
– Add some cilantro and a chopped, green onion to give it more bulk and authentic salsa feel.
– Adding some orange zest or lemon zest if you want a citrus explosion of flavors.
– Parsley and white onion for even more flavor.
Make it Healthy – Replace the sugar with granulated sweetener in this salsa. Replacing this one ingredient (sugar) will turn this recipe into a healthy, sugar-free snack instead of a sweet treat.
Enjoy
