Ingredients
- 12 ounces cranberries, preferably fresh see Notes re: frozen
- 2 medium jalapeños, seeded and diced include some seeds for a spicier salsa
- ⅓ cup chopped red onion about half of a small onion
- 3 to 4 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice about 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Sort through cranberries and discard soft or bruised ones. Rinse under cold water, then pat dry. Place cranberries in the bowl of a large food processor. Pulse 8 to 10 times or until chopped and chunky.
- Starting with the lesser amount where indicated, add all remaining ingredients EXCEPT cilantro. Process for a few seconds or until everything is finely chopped and uniform.
- Taste and adjust lime, sugar, and salt as desired. Add the cilantro and pulse 2 or 3 times to incorporate.
- Transfer cranberry salsa to a bowl or storage container. Cover and refrigerate for anywhere from 2 to 24 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to mellow and mingle. Serve cool. See serving suggestions in Notes below.
Notes
- We like fresh cranberries best in this recipe, but frozen also works. Thaw first, then rinse, drain, and pat dry.
- Serving Suggestions
- The tart and sweet flavor of cranberry salsa is surprisingly versatile! It's fantastic simply served with tortilla chips and guacamole. Or spoon it over vegan feta or cream cheese and serve with crackers.
- You can also pair cranberry salsa with hearty main dishes just as you would cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We like it in mushroom tacos, as well.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freezing not recommended.
