Wisconsin grows an abundance of cranberries and celebrates the harvest with many cranberry festivals. I don't remember where I obtained this recipe, but it's easy, different...and good! Try it with pork or leftover turkey.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
2 to 4 tablespoons chopped jalapeno peppers
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a saucepan, bring cranberries and water to a boil for 2 minutes. Drain. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Add cilantro, peppers, onion, orange peel, salt and pepper. Mix well. Cool and refrigerate.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
