[Magdalen] cranberry salsa?

[Jay Weigel]

Thanks, Don, I think I can synthesize something with this! It should be
quite tasty with mesquite smoked turkey. I'm also planning baked sweet
potatoes and stir-fried green beans. For dessert we'll have a
cranberry-apple cake made with a recipe I found several years ago. S/O
prefers it to pumpkin pie and I do too.
