Making cranberry jalapeño salsa is straightforward and yet packed with flavor. Fresh or frozen cranberries are finely chopped and mixed with diced jalapeno peppers, green onion, cilantro, lemon juice and sugar. The jalapeno peppers add a spirited heat that contrasts beautifully with the tartness of the cranberries, and the lemon juice adds a refreshing zest to the mixture.
It is best to prepare the salsa in advance and chill it overnight to allow the flavors to combine and intensify.
To serve, simply spread a generous layer of mascarpone cheese in a 9×9 baking dish and sprinkle with the jalapeño cranberry salsa. The creamy texture of mascarpone is the perfect counterbalance to the bold flavors of the salsa, making each bite a delightful experience.
This dish not only offers unique flavor, but also adds color to your table, making it a visually appealing addition to any gathering. Whether served with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or another serving dish, this appetizer is sure to be a versatile and enjoyable choice.
