Avocado Cranberry (Craisin) Salsa

I remember having this over 10 years ago at a friend get together---I love when I come across old recipes that immediately take me back 
in time and bring back great memories!!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • zest from one orange
  • juice from 1/2 of a lime
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave
  • 1 minced jalapeno seeds and ribs removed
  • 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
  • 2-4 ripe avocados peeled and sliced into 1/4"-inch dice
  • 3/4 cup cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Instructions

  • Optional: blanch the cranberries for 30 seconds in boiling water, then plunge them into ice cold water. This softens the cranberries slightly and takes off their raw edge.
  • Chop the cranberries roughly (do not put through a food processor - they'll get mushy), and pat them dry to remove their pink liquids.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the lime and orange juices, orange zest, honey, jalapenos and red onion.
  • Gently fold in the avocados, cranberries, and cilantro. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Serve with pita or tortilla chips.
