Cranberry salsa with a kick

Cranberry Salsa

1 pkg. fresh cranberries
fresh cilantro (to taste)
1 jalepeno (you'll have to figure out for yourself how hot you want it. I take out the seeds.)
3 green onions
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2-3/4 c. sugar (to taste)

Put all ingredients in food processor and chop up. Pour over 2 blocks of cream cheese. Use various crackers to dip (I like wheat thins).

(Thanks Cindi)

Greatest cranberry sauce

1 pkg. cranberries (12 oz)
3 apples pealed and cored
3 cups sugar
2 oranges peeled and chopped
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drain and reserve juices (do not use fresh -- it will keep the jello from setting up)
1 tub frozen strawberries (15oz), thawed
1 small package raspberry jello
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Grind cranberries and apples in a food processor or blender, add sugar. Dissolve jello in one cup of boiling pineapple juice. Add to cranberry mixture. Let sit for 3 hours or more. Add oranges, pineapple, strawberries, and pecans.

Thanks Susan Woodruff!!
