Best Cranberry Salsa
This Best Cranberry Salsa mixes fresh cranberries with green onions, minced jalapeños, cilantro, and ginger for a bright, tangy, and slightly spicy condiment. The combination results in a textured salsa where tart berries balance the heat from jalapeños and the warmth of ginger, enhanced by fresh citrus and sweetness. It offers a lively flavor profile that complements chips or spreads nicely on crackers with softened cream cheese.

Ingredients
- 12 ounces cranberries
- 1/4 cup green onion sliced
- 2 medium jalapeños minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro minced, fresh leaves
- 2 tablespoons ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the cranberries, picking over them to discard any that are soft or bruised. Place the cranberries in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
- Transfer the chopped cranberries to a bowl. Add the green onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and ginger. Pour the lemon juice and sugar over the mixture and stir until evenly combined.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate and allow flavors to develop. It will be a bit tart to begin with, but as it is allowed to sit it will develop even more flavor.
- Serve as a salsa with tortilla chips or spooned over softened cream cheese with crackers.
