Ingredients

  • 8 oz. 1 cup whole fresh cranberries
  • 1 small tangerine seedless or with seeds removed, skin and all
  • 4 oz. 1 large handful basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 jicama peeled
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the whole cranberries, tangerine, basil leaves, and honey until you have a chunky relish. (If you like, you can refrigerate the relish and keep it for up to two days before you're ready to use it.)
  2. Meanwhile cut the jicama into 1-centimeter slices. Using a cookie cutter, cut the slices into stars or other holiday shapes.
  3. Drop the relish by rounded spoonfuls onto the jicama stars. Top each one with a dried cranberry. Serve immediately, or chill until serving. Makes approximately 16 stars. Serves 8.
