Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (plus extra to taste)
- 1 jalapeño, deseeded
- 1 orange, juiced
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the cranberries thoroughly and pat them dry. Deseed the jalapeño to reduce heat according to preference.
- Combine in Food Processor: In the bowl of a food processor, add the cranberries, fresh cilantro, granulated sugar, deseeded jalapeño, freshly squeezed orange juice, lime juice, and salt.
- Process to Desired Consistency: Pulse the ingredients until you reach a medium consistency, where the salsa is chunky yet well combined without turning into a puree.
- Adjust Flavor: Let the salsa sit for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Taste and adjust the sugar by adding up to an additional ¼ cup if needed to balance the tartness.
- Serve or Store: Transfer the salsa to an airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freezing is not recommended to maintain texture and flavor.
Notes
- Letting the salsa rest for 30 minutes enhances the flavor blend and allows you to adjust sweetness perfectly.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for best freshness.
- Freezing cranberry salsa is not recommended as it affects texture and flavor.
