To make Trina’s Cranberry Salsa:

(Scroll down to see the full recipe with nutritional information.)

Start with 12 oz. A bag of cranberries that you can see at any store this time of year!
surely wear rubber gloves This is because when you cut a jalapeno in half and scrape out the seeds, it’s not fun to get tiny seeds on your hands or rub your eyes.
You can also use a few teaspoons green tabasco sauce (affiliate link) instead of jalapeño.
When you start processing the cranberries, prepare chopped cilantro (if using), chopped green onions, and chopped jalapenos.
Chop a whole bag of cranberries in a food processor, or Trina says you can use a blender.i am mine cuisinart food processor (affiliate link).
I chopped the cranberries first, then added the sweetener and pulsed them a few more times.
Then add chopped cilantro, chopped scallions, chopped jalapenos, lime juice, and olive oil and stir until all ingredients are chopped and well blended.
Chill salsa for several hours or overnight before serving.
I promise all your guests will devour this!

material

One 12 oz.bag fresh cranberries

3/4 cup monk fruit sweetener (see note)

3/4 cup green onion slices

3/4 cup chopped coriander or more sliced green onions

2 fresh jalapenos, seeded and chopped (see notes)

Olive oil 1T

1T freshly squeezed lime juice (see note)

instructions

Chop the leeks and coriander.
Then put on rubber gloves to chop the jalapenos. Be careful not to touch your face or eyes or squirt juice. (I also don’t put jalapeno seeds in the waste, as the smoke from grinding can irritate my eyes. If you’re worried about handling jalapenos, I’ve had good luck with this green tabasco sauce (affiliate link).
Place cranberries in food processor or blender and pulse until partially finely chopped.
Add your favorite sweetener and pulse a few more times to combine.
Add sliced green onions, chopped coriander (if using), chopped jalapenos (or green tabasco sauce), olive oil, and lime juice.
Pulse until all ingredients are chopped and mixture is well blended. (If you’re not sure whether to use two jalapenos, add one and taste the mixture before adding the other.
Place the mixture in a glass or plastic container, cover tightly, and chill for several hours or overnight.
If you end up with leftovers, this freezes very well!

Note

i would use monk fruit sweetener (affiliate link) For this reason, use your favorite sweetener.

If you want to make this easier, use green tabasco sauce (affiliate link) Instead of fresh jalapenos.

I used fresh frozen lime juice for this recipe.
