Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients
  

Fruits and Vegetables

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ unit jalapeño ribs and seeds removed
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • ½ cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1-2 unit lime juice and zest to taste
  • ½ teaspoon salt more to taste
  • ½ cup salted roasted pistachios optional

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Blitz cranberries in a food processor until broken down into a very finely chopped texture, being careful not to overly-chop or puree them. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Toss cranberries with sugar.
  • Add jalapeño, ginger, garlic, and cilantro to the food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Mix into the cranberry bowl; add lime juice, zest, and salt.
  • Let the salsa rest for 12-24 hours, if you can! This helps the cranberries tenderize and get super juicy, and the flavors will all come together so well!
  • Add pistachios to the same food processor, pulse until finely chopped, and add to the cranberry salsa just before serving.

Notes

Jalapeños can be very spicy, adjust amount according to your spice preference. You can use either cilantro or parsley, or both.
