Cranberry-Tequila Salsa

Whether you are serving lamb, duck, or a traditional turkey for Thanksgiving, you might enjoy this spicy, crunchy Tequila and ginger spiked cranberry salsa with your choice of meats.  Enjoy, and have a Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Dover Canyon!

• 1/4 cup Tequila
• 2 yellow Hungarian wax peppers, seeds removed, diced
• 1/3 fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and mashed with a garlic press
• 2  12 oz. cans whole cranberry sauce
• 6 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Serves 6-8

Combine the Tequila, diced Hungarian wax peppers, grated ginger root and garlic in a small bowl. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes or more. The Tequila will quickly extract flavor from the other ingredients and add a faint nutty aroma. Combine the cranberry sauce, onions and cilantro, then stir in the Tequila mixture. Serve as a condiment with red meats.
