Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 stalks green onions
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water, and drain well.
In a food processor, combine the cranberries and granulated sugar. Pulse until the cranberries are coarsely chopped.
Add the fresh cilantro leaves, green onions, and jalapeño pepper (seeded for less heat or with seeds for extra spice) to the food processor.
Drizzle in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle with salt.
Pulse the mixture until the ingredients are finely chopped and well combined. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should have a slightly chunky texture.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning by adding more sugar, lime juice, or salt, if needed.
Transfer the cranberry salsa to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken, turkey, or fish.
