This is surprisingly good, especially after the flavors have melded together in the frig overnight. I used 1/4 cup hot green peppers instead of jalapenos and lemon juice instead of lime because those were the ingredients I had on hand. Great salsa addition to quesadillas or to an egg dish!

Excellent! I made this about a week ago, and we ate it when we barbequed over the weekend; I agree, it is better than the sickly sweet stuff.....I did not have any green onions handy, so I used a little chopped shallots. Spicy, tangy and perfect with grilled meats! Thanks Mirj! FT:-)

This *is* a good one :-) I got an almost identical recipe some years ago at the Ocean Spray Cranberry Museum in Plymouth, MA. They suggest only 1/4 t. cumin and 2 T. jalapenos for the same amount of cranberry sauce, so play around according to your taste for these. I also added 1 t. lime zest, and 1 t. balsamic vinegar, which gave the salsa a little more tang. Thanks for posting this, Mirj!
