My friend Leslie Byars Register shared this recipe on her blog, Dear Party Diary. I made it for Thanksgiving with family: SO delicious! It was a fresh, healthy way to enjoy cranberries, and the vibrant cranberry salsa served in a purple cabbage bowl was perfectly lovely on the holiday table. This cranberry- jalapeño salsa is wonderful with sweet potato chips. It can also be spooned onto the plate alongside turkey. Lots more fun and yum than jellied cranberry sauce, make it this Thanksgiving and see your guests rave!! For more great recipes, please visit http://FamilySavvy.com xoxo~Jamie
