    Cranberry Queso Blanco Salsa

    Cranberry Queso Blanco Salsa

    Cranberry Queso Blanco Salsa

    I was recently invited to compete in the Cape Code Select Summer Breeze Blogger Recipe Challenge. For this event I knew I had to create a dish that embodied the culture of a Mexican Fiesta by using the tart-sweetness of Cape Cod Premium Frozen Cranberries in my famous Queso Blanco Salsa. The frozen cranberries are the perfect complement to the salsa. The fresh flavors of sweet corn, red and yellow peppers, jalapeño, and cranberry combine perfectly for this challenge. Above all else, the sweet-tartness from the cranberry really hits the mark when paired with the creamy-saltiness from the Queso Blanco. 

    In addition to this recipe, I also created a Cranberry Margarita for the Cocktail challenge in the contest. My Cranberry Margaritas are refreshing and the best way to wash down this robust salsa. You can find the recipe HERE

    I'm enjoying this challenge so much because I've been given the chance to work with Cape Cod Select Frozen Cranberries. Their product is grown to exceed some of the industries highest standards as they are Non-GMO verified and hold GLOBALG.A.P. Certification (http://globalgap.org/uk_en/for-consumers/).

    The Rhodes Family has been growing cranberries on their 800 acre cranberry farm for more than 75 years. It's worth mentioning that they're  a small, women-owned family business, dedicated to providing their customers with the highest quality product.

    Using Cape Cod's frozen cranberries is like working with fresh cranberries in terms of taste and appearance. Cape Cod Select Frozen Cranberries are individually frozen and perfect once thawed at room temperature. They are also delicious.
