SWEET AND TART CRANBERRY SALSA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Chop the onion and place it in a strainer. Rinse it for a few seconds under running water. Shake off water and set aside. This rinsing of the onion is done in order to soften its flavor without sacrificing texture in the finished product; omit this step if you prefer a strongly onion-flavored salsa.
• Cut the roots off the cilantro. Chop the cilantro, leaves, and stems together.
• Cut the stems off the chile peppers. Open them up and remove the seeds and veins if you prefer a milder salsa; leave them if you would like it very spicy. Dice the chile flesh.
• Place all the chopped ingredients into a blender or food processor. Add the cranberries, sugar, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Pulse (turning the device on and off rapidly) a few times, until all the ingredients are very finely chopped. Stop before liquefying completely. Move the ingredients around with a spoon between pulses in order to get a homogenous blend. Work slowly and patiently to achieve a good salsa texture and to avoid ending up with a spiritless puree.
• Pour your salsa into a glass jar or ceramic serving dish. This can be served immediately, but I always find it tastier after having sat for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Store your delicious cranberry salsa in the fridge. Take it out and let it sit at room temperature for half an hour or so before serving.
• Enjoy.

SWEET-AND-TART CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring 1 bag cranberries, sugar, and orange juice to boil in medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer until sauce is bubbling thickly, about 10 minutes. Cool. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Using on/off turns, chop remaining bag of cranberries, parsley, and orange peel in processor. Stir cranberry relish into cranberry sauce. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

FERMENTED CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Zest and juice the orange.
• Wash the cranberries, and remove any that have started to wrinkle.
• Place cranberries, orange juice, and orange zest in a blender.
• Pulse until the cranberries are crushed. It can be thin and smooth or chunky like a relish. I like a roughly chopped mix with some whole berries.
• Scrape the blended cranberries and orange into a glass jar for fermenting. Stir in the honey. Fermenting cranberries will bubble and build up carbonation, so don't cap with an air-tight lid.
• Ferment in a cool, dark location. It should start to bubble and froth after 24 hours. If you want to ferment it for longer than 24 hours, then stir it once a day to mix the floating cranberry pulp into the ferment. It will become less sweet the longer it ferments, so I generally only ferment for one week.
• Cap with an air-tight lid and store in the refrigerator. See the section above for long-term storage advice.
• Depending on how much honey you use, and how much juice you get out of the orange, your sauce may have too much liquid. Simply strain off the excess liquid before serving. The extra liquid is delicious mixed with sparkling water for a cranberry-flavored drink!
