This salsa is a unique and delicious alternative to traditional tomato-based salsas.

The combination of sweet cranberries, tart apples, spicy chilies, and fresh herbs and citrus creates a complex and flavorful dish.

Cranberries can be quite sour, so the addition of sugar may make this recipe unsuitable for those with health concerns related to high sugar intake.

Additionally, the salsa may be too spicy for some palates.

Cranberries are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C,
while serrano chilies may have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
