Ingredients

12 ounces frozen cranberries thawed slightly
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
2 limes
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
2 jalapeno peppers chopped

Instructions

Chop the cranberries and place in a medium bowl.
12 ounces frozen cranberries
Next, chop the cilantro and add it to the cranberries.
1/4 cup cilantro
Add the lime juice and lime zest to the cranberry mixture.
2 limes
Finely chop the jalapeno and add it to the rest of the ingredients. For less heat, remove the seeds and membrane from inside the pepper.
2 jalapeno peppers
Mix the honey and sugar together and add it to the bowl.
1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup sugar
Mix all ingredients well and place the salsa in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours. If you have the extra time, let the salsa set overnight in a refrigerator. It’ll really give the flavors a chance to meld together.

Notes

For the best flavor, make make this salsa the day before and let it chill overnight. This really gives the flavors a chance to meld together.
For an extra spicy version, substitute habanero pepper for the jalapeno. Just don't overdo it...a little goes a long way.
