Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1-3 serrano or jalapeño peppers Use 1 jalapeño or 2 serrano peppers for milder salsa.
  • 1 bag fresh cranberries washed
  • 1 handful cilantro coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup red onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ 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!
