Fresh Cranberry Condiments

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I will share a recipe for a condiment made with fresh cranberries. You can use this Thanksgiving Condiments in a number of different dishes, and they will all taste great. I use this to make a salsa, a creamy dip, a fruity drink, and even shots.
Fresh Cranberry Packet Fresh Cranberries, green chilies
I love all kinds of berries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, so when I saw fresh cranberries in the grocery store, I bought two big bags. Only later did I find that fresh Cranberries are hard, sour and a bit bitter in taste. To compensate for the sharp, acidic flavor, I tried many experiments, with the two big bags I brought. This recipe is one of the successful ones.
Chopped Cranberries with chilies Straining marinated cranberries Spicy sweet and sour Cranberry Syrup
In this recipe, fresh cranberries are chopped and mixed with salt, sugar, and chopped green chilies, and left to rest for a few hours. This smoothens the berries’ tartness and the salt, sugar, and spice blend together to give a unique taste. After a couple of hours, this mixture starts to leave juice. I strain the juice, which is a spicy sweet and sour syrup and store it for later use. The condiment is the strained cranberries, I add this in any salsa made with any fruits, to add a spicy sweet and sour taste. You can use this condiment to make creamy dips to enjoy with crackers. This is good in marinates as well.
