Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set aside to drain.
Step 2
Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, removing seeds and membranes for a milder salsa or leaving them in for extra heat.
Step 3
Chop half of a red onion into small, even pieces.
Step 4
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and measure out half a cup.
Step 5
In a food processor, add the cranberries, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro.
Step 6
Pulse the ingredients until they are well chopped but not pureed. The texture should remain slightly chunky.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the lime juice, honey, salt, and ground cumin.
Step 8
Mix thoroughly and taste to adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or honey as needed.
Step 9
Cover the salsa and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for grilled meats or tacos.
