Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 bag fresh cranberries -- (12 oz.)
3/4 cup Splenda -- Stevia In the Raw Granulated, or sugar (use Splenda or Stevia for South Beach Diet)
1 bunch green onions -- sliced (about 3/4 cup sliced green onion)
1 bunch fresh cilantro -- chopped (about 3/4 cup chopped cilantro, or use more to taste)
2 fresh jalapenos -- seeds removed and chopped (use more if you like it spicy; could also use a few tsp. of Green Tabasco Sauce)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice -- (I used my fresh-frozen lime juice)

Put the cranberries into a food processor or blender and pulse until they are partly chopped. Add sweetener of your choice and pulse a few times more to combine. Add sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, chopped jalapenos (or Green Tabasco Sauce), olive oil, and lime juice and pulse until all ingredients are chopped and the mixture is well combined. (If you're not sure about using 2 jalapenos, add one and taste the mixture before you add the other, but I'm kind of a lightweight on spicy things and this was just right for me.)

Put mixture into a glass or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid and chill for several hours or overnight.

Makes about 2 cups of salsa; recipe from my friend Trina who got it from her friend Georgianna.)

South Beach Suggestions: Since this recipe contains fruit, it's obviously limited to phase 2 or 3 for the South Beach Diet. Unless you're making for a once-a-year treat on Thanksgiving, I would use Splenda or Stevia In the Raw Granulated to make this if you're following South Beach.
