Salsa Festival

I love making salsas. I have so many salsa recipes on Seduction in the Kitchen, I could have a salsa festival! I love making salsa.

Fruit Salsa

I love creating a fruit salsa. I really wanted to make a fruit salsa that would be great for holiday appetizers. Plus I really love cranberries. Cranberry would be great in a fruit salsa recipe.

Cooked Salsa Recipe

I make a raspberry salsa that is a cooked salsa recipe. I was thinking, why not use that cooked salsa recipe for a base for this holiday appetizer. I would use cranberries in place of raspberries to make it a cranberry salsa recipe.

Cranberry Salsa Recipe

I also decided to make this cranberry salsa recipe similar to how I make my cranberry sauce. I would use orange juice in this cooked salsa recipe. The end result is this cranberry salsa is a great addition to Christmas cocktail party appetizers! 

So if you are looking for holiday appetizers, then this fruit salsa is perfect. not only is it an easy Christmas cocktail party appetizer recipe, but it just a wonderful cooked salsa recipe!
