Source: One Green Planet

Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups fresh cranberries  **If frozen, allow to thaw on countertop for about an hour; rinse well before using.
• 1 large apple (a sweet variety such as Gala or Fuji)
• ½ jalapeno pepper
• 1 shallot or ½ small onion
• Juice from 1 lime
• 3 Tbsp of sugar or coconut sugar

Instructions:

1. Dice the apple, jalapeno, and shallot into ¼” pieces. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno before dicing for less heat.
2. Add cranberries, apple, jalapeno, and shallot to a food processor. Pulse several times, so the ingredients are chopped, but not liquefied.
3. Put the mixture in a small bowl and add lime juice and sugar. Stir well. Let the flavors meld for about 15 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestion: Use leftover turkey from Christmas dinner and make turkey tacos. This salsa is the perfect finish to your turkey tacos or use as a dip for tortilla chips.
