Instructions

To a food processor (or blender) add the fresh cranberries and 1 jalapeño (depending on your level of spice, remove the seeds if needed). Pulse 3-4 times or until the cranberries and jalapeño are finely minced. You still want them to have some texture.
Transfer the minced cranberries + jalapeño to a mixing bowl. Add the lime juice, oil, vinegar, chopped green onion, cilantro, honey, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until everything is well combined.
Serve with chips, on a crostini and cheese (my personal favorite), or next to your thanksgiving turkey!

Notes

As the salsa sits, it will gather excess liquid. Use a slotted spoon to transfer into a fresh dish if needed.

You NEED sweetener in this recipe to balance the tartness of the cranberries. I found 3 tablespoons to be enough, but don’t be shy to use 4-5 tablespoons of honey if needed.
