Sweet Fresh Cranberry Salsa
Sweet and a bit spicy, this salsa can be enjoyed with tortilla chips or spread on crackers with cream cheese. Either way, it's a crowd pleaser!
Ingredients
- 1-3 serrano or jalapeño peppers (see notes)
- 1 bag fresh cranberries, washed
- 1 handful cilantro, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
Instructions
- Using food handlers gloves or a plastic sack, wash and remove seeds from serrano or jalapeño peppers.
- Place cranberries, cilantro, peppers, red onion, and garlic in a food processor. If your food processor is smaller, you may want to add ingredients in 2 batches. Pulse until ingredients are finely chopped but not pureed.
- Remove salsa to a medium-size bowl. Stir in sugar, salt, lime juice, and zest.
- Can be served immediately, but for the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours to allow flavors to blend.
- Serve either with tortilla chips or over a cube of cream cheese or goat cheese paired with crackers. Either way, it's a great choice!
Notes
I use 1 jalapeño or 2 serrano peppers, but use more if you like a spicier salsa!
