Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Fresh Cranberries (1 bag)
  • 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro  (around ¼ cup)
  • ½ cup Green Onion, chopped
  • 2 Jalapeño Peppers, chopped (seeds removed)
  • 1 Lime (juiced)
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • ¼ - ½ cup White granulated sugar (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, add the cranberries and sugar. Pulse until you reach a chunky salsa consistency, making sure the cranberries are broken down but still have some texture.
  • Add the jalapeños, sweet onion, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice to the food processor. Pulse again, just until everything is combined and chopped evenly.
  • Taste the salsa and adjust to your preference. Add more lime juice for brightness, more sugar for sweetness, or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
  • For best results, chill the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips or alongside turkey.
