For a smoother salsa, pulse the cranberries in a food processor a few times before mixing. Adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Remember that the heat will intensify as the salsa sits. If you prefer a sweeter salsa, you can add a touch more sugar to taste. This salsa can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
