Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cups red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño peppers
- 0.25 cups orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries well under cold water and drain them completely.
In a food processor, add the cranberries, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (seeded if you prefer less heat). Pulse several times until coarsely chopped.
Add the orange juice, lime juice, sugar, and salt to the food processor. Pulse again until the mixture reaches your desired salsa consistency. Be careful not to over-process; the salsa should have a slightly chunky texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more sugar or salt as needed to balance the flavors.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it rest for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, crackers, or as a topping for grilled chicken or turkey.
