Rinse the cranberries and then completely dry them. Use a paper towel if needed.

Cut all of the cranberries in half, and place them in a bowl.

Coarsely grind all the whole spices

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, turn off the stove and add the freshly ground spices as well as salt, cayenne, turmeric and mix well. 

Pour this over the cranberries and mix well.

Once the berries have cooled completely, pour them into a dry glass jar and let it sit for 5 days, making sure to shake the jar once a day to get the oil to coat all the berries. Move the jar to the fridge on day 5, then wait another 2 days before eating for the best flavor.

Store this achar in the fridge for up to a month.
