Step 1

Open the bag of cranberries and inspect the fruit for damage or imperfections.  There's usually a few sneaky tart berries that need to be removed before starting. Wash the cilantro and remove the thick stems, juice the lime, chop the onion, and prep the pomegranate. Remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeño and chop it finely.

Step 2

Add the cranberries to a food processor with maple syrup. Pulse until they’re finely chopped. Transfer the chopped cranberries to a bowl and add remaining ingredients.

Step 3

Taste and season accordingly, adding additional salt, lime juice or maple syrup if desired. Place in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes before enjoying. I like to make it the day before to give the flavors plenty of time to release.
