[Magdalen] cranberry salsa?

[Don Boyd]

Jay, here are a couple of recipes that could work.  If I were doing this I 
would merge the two recipes--I don't think the salad oil would be needed, 
and the suggested amount of sugar seems tooo much to me.  I would prefer 
fresh mint to dried, ditto the ginger.  Serranos are a bit hotter than 
jalapenos,as you no doubt know.  I'm not crazy about the orange:cranberry 
combination but the only time I've had it the cook just ground up oranges 
peel, pith, and all and it was too damn bitter to suit me.



This next isn't what you're looking for, but there's another cranberry 
relish that uses horseradish for "kick" and contains sour cream.  You mush 
it in a blender and freeze it--thawing just enough so you can spoon it 
easily but still have some icy crystals in it.  (This was featured by NPR 
every year--it was somebody's mother's recipe--Liane Hansen maybe?)

No, this was definitely salsa. It had jalapeños in it, IIRC.
