Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and discard any bruised or mushy ones.
Step 2
In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the fresh cranberries and granulated sugar. Pulse until the cranberries are finely chopped, but not pureed.

Measure out the fresh cilantro, roughly chop it, and add it to the mixture.
Step 6
Add the lime juice, orange juice, and salt to the bowl of the food processor.
Step 7
Pulse the mixture a few more times until all ingredients are well combined and reach a salsa-like consistency.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the salt, sugar, or lime juice as desired.
Step 9
Transfer the salsa to a bowl or airtight container, cover, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 10
Serve chilled with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or roasted turkey.
