Tips:

  • Select firm, plump cranberries: Avoid berries that are soft, bruised, or have any signs of mold.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice the cranberries: This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Chop the cilantro finely: This will help to distribute its flavor throughout the salsa.
  • Use a variety of peppers: This will add different levels of heat and flavor to the salsa. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeño pepper.
