Cranberry Salsa
As demonstrated in the “Cranberry Cook-Off” episode of Live It – December 2020
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- 2 jalapenos, cut into small chunks
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, about a hand full
- 2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup sugar (add more or less to taste)
- Optional for serving: cream cheese, tortilla chips, crackers, jicama slices
Instructions
- Rinse cranberries and discard any that are soft.
- Add cilantro, jalapeno and cranberries to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times until all ingredients are finely chopped, but be careful not to process too much!
- Transfer to a bowl and add grated ginger, lemon juice and sugar. Feel free to adjust the sugar to taste, but less is healthier! Cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours to allow the flavors to develop if time allows.
- Serve plain or over a brick of cream cheese with tortilla chips, crackers, or jicama slices.
