Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries cleaned and dried
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 jalapenos finely chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro finely chopped
  • ½ green onions finely chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 Tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  • Optional: salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a food processor, use the pulse setting in short intervals to finely chop the cranberries, being careful not to overgrind.
  • Transfer the berries into a large bowl and add the sugar, stirring until combined. Let stand for at least 10 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved into the berries.
  • Add jalapenos, cilantro, green onions, orange zest, orange juice and lime juice and stir to combine.
  • Cover and place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to set in. I prefer overnight or 6-8 hours!
  • Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

Notes

Please note this salsa is WAY better after sitting overnight. The minimum chill time is 1 hour, but it’s best overnight to ensure the flavors really meld. Eating it any sooner and it will be overly sweet.
