Method

Coarsely chop the cranberries in a food processor. Put into a saucepan, scraping in all liquid released in the processing.  Bring to a boil. When boiling, immediately lower heat to medium low and simmer for 1 or 2 minutes, stirring constantly. This can easily burn, so be watchful and steadfast.

Combine cranberries, onion, jalapeno, lime zest and juice, ginger and sugar in a bowl and mix well. Chill for 24 hours before serving. Though this is a classic side for poultry, especially a Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey, you can also or spoon it over a block of brie cheese as an elegant buffet dish.
