Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries cleaned and dried
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 jalapenos finely chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro finely chopped
  • ½ green onions finely chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 Tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  • Optional: salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a food processor, use the pulse setting in short intervals to finely chop the cranberries, being careful not to overgrind.
  • Transfer the berries into a large bowl and add the sugar, stirring until combined. Let stand for at least 10 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved into the berries.
  • Add jalapenos, cilantro, green onions, orange zest, orange juice and lime juice and stir to combine.
  • Cover and place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to set in.
  • Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Be sure to let the salsa sit! It needs time for the flavors to balance out so it tastes great. You can get away with an hour but overnight is way better!
  • Chop don't puree. Make sure you only chop your cranberries so your salsa has plenty of texture.
  • Adjust to your tastes. You can easily adjust the sweetness or spiciness of your cranberry salsa to your preferences by using more or less sugar or jalapeno.
