Oh my. This is just so delicious and refreshing! Perfect for a holiday part or gathering.
I simply adore cranberries. Any way I can get them, I’m a happy girl. What I like best about this salsa is that the pineapple and apple takes off just enough of the sourness from the cranberries, without making the whole thing really sweet. It’s a really nice balance of sweet and sour. Add to that a little kick from the onions and jalapeno and you’ve got yourself one very tasty snack or appetizer!
The wheels are already turning for other recipes I can make with this. Shrimp, fish, chicken…. the list could be endless. In fact, I think even some muffins might be good with this! Oh dear, I better simmer down. I’m a little overexcited about this. But can you blame me? IT’S CRANBERRIES!!!!! And I do LOOOOOVE cranberries. (In case I didn’t mention it before….)

I’m gonna take this to a fitness Christmas party tonight!! THanks!!
I’ve got an appetizer variation of this (no pineapples or apples) that I serve over cream cheese (maybe not clean??), that I love! Excited to try it with the fruit added in, sounds yummy! Thanks!
This sounds soooo yummy! I have seen lots of fresh cranberries at the store and wondered what I could do with them, so I will try this for sure
Awesome!!!
This is a great way to use the extra 5-lbs of fresh cranberries that I have stored. healthy and delicious. Thanks for sharing.
