Each family enjoys its own Thanksgiving traditions. Not being a great cook nor particularly loving turkey, my way of incorporating a touch of the traditional thanksgiving fare was through my “famous” cranberry salsa. I still fondly remember the jokes my son quipped around the table as he announced our traditional Thanksgiving meal would include Cranberry Salsa – just like our forefathers!
This recipe can be made up to 5 days ahead so it frees up more time to enjoy company. Cranberry Salsa is a great accompaniment to turkey, ham or fish. And my favorite part is the rich color it adds to the table! I hope you’ll enjoy this easy tradition.
