Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set aside to drain.
Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, removing seeds and membranes for a milder salsa or leaving them in for extra heat.
Chop half of a red onion into small, even pieces.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and measure out half a cup.
In a food processor, add the cranberries, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro.
Pulse the ingredients until they are well chopped but not pureed. The texture should remain slightly chunky.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the lime juice, honey, salt, and ground cumin.
Mix thoroughly and taste to adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or honey as needed.
Cover the salsa and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for grilled meats or tacos.
