Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
• 2 Roma tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly and drain them well.

Step 2

Place the cranberries in a food processor and pulse a few times until they are roughly chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want a coarse texture.

Step 3

Dice the Roma tomatoes and finely chop the red onion. Add them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Using gloves if necessary, seed and finely dice the jalapeño pepper. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and onion.

Step 5

Chop the cilantro leaves finely and add them to the bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.

Step 7

Combine the chopped cranberries with the tomato mixture in the large mixing bowl. Pour the lime juice mixture over the ingredients and mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.

Step 9

Let the salsa sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside roasted meats as a tangy condiment.
