Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Orange juice
- 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Orange zest
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.
Add the cranberries to a food processor and pulse a few times until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should have a chunky texture.
Transfer the chopped cranberries to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing the seeds if you prefer less heat). Add them to the bowl with the cranberries.
Stir in the granulated sugar, orange juice, lime juice, orange zest, salt, and ground cumin. Mix until well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salsa for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salsa a quick stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or as a topping for grilled chicken or turkey.
