Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz Fresh Whole Cranberries

- 1 tsp Garlic minced
- 1-3 Jalapenos diced
- 3 Green Onions chopped
- 1/4 cup Cilantro chopped
- 1/2 Lime zest and juice

- 1/2 tsp Fresh Ginger grated (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium sized pot bring hot water to a boil.
- Add cranberries to boiling water and reduce heat. Cook for 2-5 minutes until cranberries start to pop open.
- Drain cranberries and let cool while you chop your other raw ingredients. I cool mine in the fridge.
- Chop garlic, jalapenos, green onions and cilantro and set aside.
- Add sugar and chopped ingredients to cooled cranberries and gently stir in.
- Zest half of a lime and squeeze the juice of half of lime into the cranberry mixture and stir in.
- Add salt and black pepper to taste. I usually do a few shakes of each.
- For an additional fresh component, grate some fresh ginger on the top and mix in (optional)
- Add to your favorite serving dish and enjoy!
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Fresh cranberries can be found in the produce section of your grocery store. They usually come in bags and are often by the brand Ocean Spray.
- You can include the seeds or exclude the seeds of the jalapenos. The more seeds you use the spicier it will be.
