Instructions
Place cranberries, red onion, jalapeño, granulated sugar, cumin, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a food processor.
Pulse until the mixture is almost smooth, but still has some chunks.
Place the cranberry salsa mixture into a bowl and cover. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the cranberries release their natural juices.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips.
Notes
If you want a little more zing, you can add the zest of the lime into the salsa as well.
If you prefer your salsa chunkier, leave the jalapeño and green onion out of the food processor. Pulse the cranberries until they are chunky and then pour them into a bowl and stir in finely diced jalapeño and thinly sliced green onion.
