About the Recipe

At this time of year my pumpkin obsession turns to cranberries. I like the sweet and sour punchiness that develops as this salsa sits overnight, but it is all kinds of tasty fresh off a simmer as well.

This Pineapple Cranberry Salsa pairs perfectly with my Paleo Chicken Fingers.

 

If you’re not in a chicken finger kind of mood, this salsa would also work well for:

  • poultry dishes of any kind
  • pork chops
  • combined with olive oil and citrus juice for a tasty salad dressing
  • spreading on a sandwich or wrap

I hope you enjoy!
