Spicy and tangy
I love this spicy tangy sauce with roasted chicken, pork, venison and lamb. You can absolutely pour it over cream cheese for an amazing appetizer to serve with crackers. Have you ever tried a peanut butter sandwich with spicy cranberry sauce? Don’t knock it until you have tried it! I really love it!
You can absolutely use fresh jalapeños instead of canned jalapeños for this recipe. But during the holidays I usually have my hands full with so many chores and kitchen duties that canned jalapeños are a time saver. I also like the tangy vinegar snap that canned jalapeños add to the dish.
