Ingredients

• ¼ cup [60 g] pitted dates
• ¼ cup [45 g] crystallized ginger

Steps

1. Using a large, sharp knife, dice the dates and crystallized ginger into small, uniform dice. Thinly slice the scallions and then mince them finely.
2. Put the cranberries in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times until they are in rough pieces. Add the honey, lime juice, jalapeño, cilantro, fresh ginger, salt, and pepper and continue to pulse until finely diced. Add the dates, crystalized ginger, and scallions and pulse once or twice to combine.
3. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to blend thoroughly. Serve at room temperature.
