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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water, and drain well.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the cranberries and granulated sugar. Pulse until the cranberries are coarsely chopped.

Step 3

Add the fresh cilantro leaves, green onions, and jalapeño pepper (seeded for less heat or with seeds for extra spice) to the food processor.

Step 4

Drizzle in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle with salt.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning by adding more sugar, lime juice, or salt, if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the cranberry salsa to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken, turkey, or fish.
