How to Make Cranberry Salsa

  1. Coarsely chop 1 cup fresh cranberries.
  2. Finely dice 1/2 red onion and add to a medium-sized mixing bowl along with the chopped cranberries.
  3. Mince 1 jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and zest of 1 lime. Add to the bowl.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice for tartness, jalapeño for heat, or salt to taste.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
