Next, chop the appropriate amount of the peppers, jalapeno, apple, and red onion each (specified below) into large pieces and throw them all into the food processor with the cranberries.

Then, use the food processor to chop and combine the ingredients.

Finally, stir in the cilantro, sugar, lemon juice, and apple juice.
