Ingredients

  • 1 package whole cranberries fresh
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 Jalapeño with seeds removed
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  2. Pulse a few times, until ingredients are in small bits but not completely blended together. Serve over cream cheese with crackers or chips. You can also serve as a relish over meats.

Notes

  • *Nutrition does not include cream cheese or crackers.
  • Make sure to use fresh cranberries and not canned for this recipe. They'll chop up easily in a food processor and gives the salsa a fresh, tart flavor.
  • Remove the seeds of the jalapeño before tossing in the food processor. The seeds are where the heat lives, so you'll want to tame that down a little.
  • This recipe is sweetened with honey, which also gives it a beautiful glaze. But if it's not sweet enough, you could add a teaspoon or so of sugar until it tastes how you like it.
  • If you are using a blender, just do small pulses so you don't make this into a smoothie! You want the cranberries to be small but not completely blended together. This is a chunky salsa!
