Ingredients
- 12 ounces cranberries fresh
- 2 jalapeno pepper deseeded and finely diced
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
- ¼ cup green onion finely chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature (optional
Instructions
- Rinse and sort cranberries, discarding any that are bruised or mushy.
- Place cranberries in a blender or food processor and pulse until the cranberries are finely chopped but not mushy.
- Place the chopped cranberries in a bowl and add the jalapeños, orange juice, lime juice, sugar, cilantro, and green onions. Toss to combine.
- Cover the salsa with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes to meld all the flavors together.
- Uncover and serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
- *Optional serving step: Spread the cream cheese onto your serving platter and pour the cranberry salsa on top for a creamy and rich appetizer.
Notes
- Refrigerating the salsa is crucial in developing flavor and allowing the sugar to dissolve and add sweetness. The longer it sits, the better the taste.
- Adjust the salsa’s sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar. If you’re concerned it will be too sweet, start with 1/4 cup, then add in more as needed.
- If you want it spicy, leave in the jalapeño seeds or substitute with a serrano pepper.
