Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 2 medium Ripe peaches
- 1 small Red bell pepper
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and let them drain well.
Dice the peaches into small cubes, ensuring to remove the pit. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Finely chop the red bell pepper, jalapeño pepper (remove the seeds for less heat), and red onion.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding the thicker stems.
In a food processor, pulse the cranberries a few times until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want a rough chop, not a puree.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cranberries, peaches, red bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, ground cumin, and salt until well blended.
Pour the lime juice mixture over the salsa ingredients in the mixing bowl and gently toss everything together until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness or salt for flavor balance if desired.
Refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for roasted poultry or pork.
