Cranberry Salsa

Chef Sean #2's Note:

I got this recipe from the cookbook "The Salsa Book", ISBN 0-9612150-8-9. Although it calls for 1 Jalapeno or Serrano chile, as with every recipe I post, if you don't have the specific chile it calls for you can substitute with whatever type you have.However, if substituting with Habanero(s), I would add the chile after cooking, since I've found cooking Habanero(s) destroys the fruity aroma. This make a good alternative to cranberry sauce.
