Notes

Recipe Tips:

  • 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!
*Nutrition does not include cream cheese or crackers.
