We made this cranberry sauce for a collaboration with Vitamix featuring three holiday recipes. You can make this is in most blenders or any food processor.
It’s a recipe inspired by Mel’s Kitchen Cafe; we used half the sugar then switched to just honey and feel like it’s perfect now. We don’t normally use straight up granulated sugar or even honey into our Vitamix, but fresh cranberries are so bitter, adding sweetness to them is really the only way. We’ve made this recipe for every Holiday season the last few years. Really good and pretty. Placed onto a bed of cream cheese gets you that full salt fat acid heat experience. Recommended!

Ingredients
12 ounces fresh cranberries
4-5 green onions, chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
½ cup honey
½ teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Add all ingredients to your Vitamix container in the order listed.
Secure the lid and blend on Variable 3-4, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades if needed.
Pulse or blend until you reach your desired consistency – about 10-15 seconds for a chunky salsa, or longer for a smoother texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For more heat, add additional jalapeño (with seeds). For more sweetness, add a bit more honey or sugar.
Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
