Hi, all. First, the request:
I'm going to San Antonio at the end of the month for the Alamo Bowl (Go
Northwestern whooooooo!). I have never in my life been there before, but I
know it to be a Tex-Mex Mecca. Any restaurant/bar advice would be greatly
appreciated. The hotter, the better, natch.
Now, the recipe. Thought it up and made it over Thanksgiving, to go with
the turkey, but it's good with all kinds of things, particularly pork. I
even rolled some up in a flour tortilla with some plain grilled chicken into
a burrito of sorts last night. Mighty tasty. Keeps very well, too.
Cranberry/Cherry/Serrano Sauce
1 12-oz. bag fresh cranberries
2 ounces (1/4 cup) dried cherries
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar (may substitute honey, if you like)
1-3 serrano chiles, finely minced, with seeds (depending on chile size and
personal heat tolerance)
Pinch kosher salt
1-3 T lime juice (to taste)
Combine all ingredients except for lime juice; cook gently til cranberries
pop. Continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, and add 1 T of the lime
juice; taste. if too sweet, and more juice to taste. Cook another five
minutes to reduce slightly; remove from heat and cool. Refrigerate.
Yum. More chiles can be added; serranos work better than jalapenos. 1
habanero can, of course, be substituted for the serranos; I would seed and
devein it, though. Or at least warn the guests. ;o)
