Main Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) package fresh cranberries
- 1 Tbsp orange zest
- 2 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 cup raw sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather all the fresh ingredients including cranberries, orange zest, jalapeños, green onions, and cilantro. Seed and chop the jalapeños to reduce heat if desired.
- Pulse in food processor: Place cranberries, orange zest, jalapeños, green onions, and cilantro into a food processor or blender. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but still has some texture.
- Mix and chill: Transfer the chopped mixture to a bowl. Add lime juice, raw sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and chill the salsa in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the cranberry salsa as a condiment or festive accompaniment to your holiday dishes.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your preferred spice level.
- For a smoother salsa, pulse longer in the food processor.
- If raw sugar is unavailable, granulated white sugar or brown sugar can be used as substitutes.
- Chilling the salsa overnight will enhance the flavor even more.
- This salsa pairs well with turkey, chicken, or as a dip with chips.
