Ingredients

  • 1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 medium tangerine, peeled and seeded
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped seeded jalapeno peppers
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 30 slices French bread (1/4 inch thick)

  • 1/2 pound shaved deli smoked turkey

Directions

  • Place cranberries and tangerine in a food processor; cover and process until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, bring vinegar and shallots to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring occasionally. Stir in the sugar, jalapenos, pepper and reserved cranberry mixture. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until chilled.
