Wisconsin Cranberry And Kumquat Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the coriander seeds in a dry medium saucepan over medium heat, shaking often, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel, fold to cover, then crush the seeds with a rolling pin. Return to the saucepan.
• Add 1 1/2 cups water, the sugar, cranberries, kumquats and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the berries burst and the sauce thickens, 18 to 25 minutes. (If the berries are not bursting after 15 minutes, gently mash with a spoon.) Let cool.
• Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled and thickened, at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Chop 1 cup raw cranberries in a food processor and add to cranberry sauce. Stir in 1 thinly sliced jalapeno, 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1 teaspoon each honey and salt. Let cool to room temperature. Just before serving, add 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Place the first 6 ingredients in a food processor. Finely grate enough zest from lime to measure 2 teaspoons. Cut lime crosswise in half; squeeze juice from lime. Add zest and juice to food processor. Process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in diced tomatoes and green chiles, sugar, salt and cayenne. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours., Arrange cream cheese on a serving platter; top with cranberry salsa. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring cranberries and water to a boil for 2 minutes. Drain. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Add cilantro, peppers, onion, orange peel, salt and pepper. Mix well. Cool and refrigerate.

Steps:

Steps:

• Prick kumquats 2 or 3 times with a sharp fork. Cover kumquats generously with cold water in a heavy medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Drain and rinse with cold water, then repeat 2 more times (to remove bitterness).
• Bring kumquats, sugar, and water (3/4 cup) to a boil in rinsed saucepan (liquid will not cover kumquats) over high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then reduce heat and gently simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool kumquats in syrup, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer kumquats with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving syrup in saucepan. Add cranberries and 1/4 teaspoon salt to syrup and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until berries burst, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
• While cranberries cook, quarter kumquats lengthwise, discarding any seeds.
• Stir kumquats into cranberry mixture and transfer to a bowl. Cool completely, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix jalapeños with garlic and cilantro. Remove insides from kumquats. Put insides in small pot and add orange juice, lemon juice, and brown sugar.
• While reducing mixture, cut kumquat shells to 1/2-inch size and add to reduction. When reduction is done and tender, mix with the other ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Put the cranberries and kumquats in a pan with 300ml/⁄½ pint water. Bring to the boil and simmer very gently for 5-6 minutes, or until the skins start to pop.
• Stir in sugar until dissolved, simmer for 4-5 minutes until thick and jam-like. Add stem ginger and more sugar if you like. Cool before serving. Relish can be stored in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
