Cranberry salsa? Why not!<\/strong> This surprising salsa is bold and tangy. The bitterness of the cranberries is tempered with sweetness from orange juice and a little bit of honey. Most cranberry salsa recipes are too sweet, calling for as much as one cup sugar. This one is well-balanced, and you can adjust it to suit your taste buds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cranberry salsa recipe was inspired by one my late grandmother brought to our family’s Christmas celebration years ago. It was festive and colorful, and I just loved it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With my grandmother’s recipe in mind, I improvised this salsa last year when our friend Tessa<\/a> and her husband came over. My grandmother served her salsa with cream cheese, but I noticed we all ignored the cream cheese and kept going back for more salsa. I don’t think it requires an accompaniment, but you’ll find serving suggestions below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cranberry salsa is very easy to make. <\/strong>The ingredients require minimal prep work since we rely on the food processor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find the full recipe below. Simply combine fresh cranberries, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, orange juice, lime juice, honey, and salt.<\/strong> If you prefer mild salsa, omit the jalapeño. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process for 10 to 15 seconds, then taste and add more honey if the mixture tastes bitter. Let it rest for 10 minutes to give the flavors time to meld, then enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
