Sweet Fresh Cranberry Salsa

I love sweet-spicy salsa. Sara brought some of this over the other night, and it was love at first bite. This recipe came from Sara's friend, Joy, who just released a cookbook called "Bliss" (order it here). The salsa takes 5 minutes to make, and about 2-4 hours in the fridge to let the flavors mix together. Perfect for a holiday partay. Yummy.
