As we contemplate contemplating Thanksgiving my family members are enjoying a combination of two of our favorite foods, cranberries and salsa.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The salsa below is quite mild. At one time, I thought all salsas had to be ultra hot. Lately, however, my palate is craving subtlety.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
You may of course add more jalape\u00f1o\u2014even more lime and cilantro if you wish.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
We\u2019re enjoying this version right now on chips and on crackers with cream cheese. We may even throw it on the Thanksgiving table next to the turkey and see what happens.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
\nthe juice of 1 lime
\n3\/4 teaspoon sea salt
\n2 cups homemade whole-berry cranberry sauce (I could give you the recipe, but honestly it\u2019s on the side of most bags of cranberries; just add a pinch of salt to the basic formula)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Instructions:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In a medium bowl combine the scallions, pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir in the salt, then the cranberries.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Mix thoroughly. Chill, covered, for at least 1 hour before serving.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Miss Mogli is not sure what to make of cranberry salsa. The human members of the Weisblat family love it.<\/p><\/div>\n
