Thanksgiving: Cranberry Relish Arizona Style

I love cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, I am even pretty okay with the jelly stuff from a can. I also love a leftover turkey sandwich with cranberries. This recipe gives it a little kick. Jalapenos with Cranberries seems to be a strange combo but the tart cranberries are fabulous with the spice of the jalapenos.

12 oz pkg fresh cranberries
1 whole lime
3/4 cup sugar
2+ Jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Place cranberries in food processor; process until coarsely chopped and transfer to bowl.
Cut lime with peel into small chunks. Process until finely diced. add to cranberries along with sugar and minced jalapeno. Mix in cilantro.
Refrigerate relish for several hours to allow flavors to mellow and blend.
Serve chilled
Because jalapeno peppers vary widely in "heat", I usually start with 2 peppers and then taste it to see if more should be added.
