Ingredients

This is a little sweet and a little tart~ add another jalapeño pepper to turn up the heat!

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed (I used the whole 12-oz. package of fresh cranberries)

1 small Gala, Fuji, or Braeburn apple, cubed

1 medium size jalapeño pepper, seeded and quartered (or more to taste)

1/4 cup superfine sugar

1 tablespoon orange zest

1/2 of finely chopped shallot

Juice of one lime

Juice of half an orange

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, optional

Preparation

Pulse the cranberries, apple, and jalapeño pepper in food processor until coarsely chopped, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.

Transfer to a bowl; stir in green onion and cilantro if desired.

Add sugar and remaining ingredients, stirring well.

Cover and chill 2 – 24 hours, the color will deepen the longer it chills. Stir before serving with sweet potato chips or cinnamon sugar pita chips.

Makes approximately 2 ½ cups, so you may need to double this for a crowd!
