- 1 package whole cranberries fresh
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- 1 jalapeño with seeds removed
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 bunch green onions
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Pulse a few times, until ingredients are in small bits but not completely blended together. Serve over cream cheese with crackers or chips. You can also serve as a relish over meats.
Recipe Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh cranberries and not canned for this recipe. They'll chop up easily in a food processor and gives the salsa a fresh, tart flavor.
- Remove the seeds of the jalapeño before tossing in the food processor. The seeds are where the heat lives, so you'll want to tame that down a little.
- This recipe is sweetened with honey, which also gives it a beautiful glaze. But if it's not sweet enough, you could add a teaspoon or so of sugar until it tastes how you like it.
- If you are using a blender, just do small pulses so you don't make this into a smoothie! You want the cranberries to be small but not completely blended together. This is a chunky salsa!
