Sangrita

Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2005 8:36 am

Anyone have a favorite recipe for Sangrita? I'm having my in-laws over at Christmas and I want to continue my quest to educate them in all things Yucatecan. (Haven't decided what I'm cooking yet, maybe somthing like chipotle glazed turkey. I love messing with their New England palates. Twisted Evil

Gracias Amiga, I think you hit it! But since I have a bumper crop of killer jalopanos in the freezer (the garden was smokin' this year) I believe I may have to puree one of those puppies for this instead of the piquin. Should raise the hair on some of these old yankee's heads. Twisted Evil

But I show some mercy, I have a lot of habaneros too!

How about some cranberry salsa to go with that Turkey....

2 Cups of Finely Chopped Fresh Cranberries
10 Cherry Tomatoes Chopped Finely.
½ Cup Sugar
3 Tbs Fresh Lime Juice
½ Tsp Cumin
4 Tbs Minced Red Onion, I like more
4 Tbs Chopped Fresh Cilantro
3 Finely Chopped Serrano Chiles or 1 Jalapeño Chile
Chopped Garlic to taste.

Home Made Chips From Corn Totillas Fried on the Stove top with oil.

Hope you like it,

That's my favorite Bill, I still have that recipe from a few years ago and made it Saturday night for friends! It is always a hit!

That recipe sounds wonderful, Bill.

I served cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner at my house in Mexico last year and found it impossible to explain to my non-American guests what they are. There is no word for cranberry in Spanish

Judy, try this one, it is the perfect combination of different flavors, guaranteed to be well received!

Bill, perfect timing. I just was asked to provide the cranberry sauce for Thursday's family feast (I'm also bringing Queso Fundido al Tequila). While I will provide the "normal" version for the timid, I am definitely going to challenge some palates. Thanks Smile

A post T-day update: Bill, the cranberry salsa was very well received (but maybe not as well as the cranberry margaritas. Laughing

) And Ann, love the sangrita. I'll be making it on a regular basis for sure. Thanks again.
