Cranberry Salsa

[Duckalucky]

This is buckle-your-knees, knock-you-naked delicious!

No kidding, I am making this for ALL my holiday gatherings this year.  And maybe just for me, in between.

I made a half recipe and it made probably 3 cups.  It's unsalty, ungarlicky, spicy without being too much, sweet, and tart.  Perfect.  Thank you-- this is an absolute favorite now.

I just made this (half-batch) for the 3rd time in a month, and I'm still stunned by it-- it's so good, so pretty, and so easy.  Thank you thank you thank you, MegMarie!

DELICIOUS! Best recipe I've tried from vegweb!
Somehow I didn't get serrano peppers when shopping so I subbed with half of a 7oz. can of chipotles in adobo. This gave it a very smokey taste (which I loved) vs. what I'm sure is a more crisp and fresh taste with the serranos.
Make no mistake this is spicy!! To make it less spicy (carefully) de-seed the peppers before chopping.
I halfed the recipe and in my opinion still had enough for a party of people (4 cups, at least... there's more that's not pictured!)
I used my vitamix to chop the onion and peppers, if you do, use a VERY low speed like 1 or it goes to mush (still good though!)
Delicious and very modern Thanksgiving or even non-Thanksgiving recipe.
I like it with Wheat Thins
BTW... If you can't get your hands on cranberry sauce... (europe:)) you may be able to try this recipe with a whole fruit raspberry jam or preserves.

Wow, this salsa rocks my socks.  I threw in some lightly cooked whole cranberries, too, to add to the texture.  I also sautéed the peppers to mellow out their heat, as I'm not the world's biggest fan of spicy.

OK, I think I want to add this recipe for Thanksgiving.  How are most of you serving this one?  Are you pouring it over some vegan cream cheese or having it by itself?  Do you prefer crackers or tortilla chips?  Are there any other suggestions besides maybe reducing the onion?  Thanks!

OK! wow!
i made this recipe ( well.... half of it, since every one is telling to do so... )
with home-made cranberry sauce, and it was delicious. It's not even thanksgiving in Canada and i think I'll make some again. I added some orange zest ( according to my cranberry sauce recipe) and it was great.

Everyone loved this recipe!!!  I bought the cream cheese and opted not to use it.  Everyone raved about it and I was one of two vegans at the party.  The other 25 are omnis.  I also deseeded the peppers and it was almost too hot.  If you can't handle hot foods cut down on the peppers and definately deseed.

Very tasty!!  I made this and served it at Thanksgiving dinner, where it was well-received.  I halved the recipe and poured it over some Tofutti vegan cream cheese.  I left out one of the serranos and removed the seeds from all the peppers, thinking this might be too hot, but next time I'll add more peppers.  It wasn't quite spicy enough for me; I like my food pretty spicy, though.  I'll definitely be making this again.

This was great!  I too used the chipotle peppers in adobe sauce!  I will make this again and again!

[alexgrace]

This was great!  I couldn't find serranos and substituted a milder pepper.  I hope I can find serranos the next time.  I'm with Duckalucky - I'm making it for all my holiday gatherings this year!!

oh my goodness. this is the best salsa i've ever made! i love the tart, non-salty bite that this has. i used homemade cranberry sauce and added some orange juice/zest to it. yum yum yum!

Excellent flavor combo.  Bonus points for being super easy!  I might try mixing it with veg*n sour cream or cream cheese for a sturdier dip.  Thank you!!!

A friend brought this to my house for a party and I was floured.  We ate it poured over two containers of vegan cream cheese on crackers!  YUM!!

I made this again for Christmas dinner (we celebrated early), this time using about 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and 1/3 can of diced green chiles instead of the jalapenos and serranos. I still halved it, and this time did not serve it with cream cheese. It was very good, although next time I might go for chipotles and jalapenos. While everyone liked it, I think they are confused by it - people expect plain ol' cranberry sauce, and are surprised when it is smoky/spicy. This is something to serve to more open-minded crowds. But very yummy nonetheless! :-)
