1

In 2-quart saucepan, stir together cranberries, brown sugar, water, green chiles and lime peel. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries begin to burst and mixture has thickened slightly.
2

Remove from heat; stir in chopped cilantro. Cool completely (salsa will continue to thicken as it cools). Store covered in refrigerator. Serve salsa chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with cilantro sprig.

Expert Tips

The cilantro can be omitted, or substitute Italian (flat-leaf) parsley.
Serve the salsa as a condiment with turkey, chicken or pork…or serve it as an appetizer with tortilla chips.
