CRANBERRY JALAPENO CREAM CHEESE DIP
This is a fun dip that is both sweet and spicy. I got the recipe by varying other cranberry salsa and dip recipes I have found. I got the idea of the fusion of oil from a friend. There are many ideas for use and a great item to take along when you want to surprise your friends with something they probably have not tried. Serve with Triscuits®, pita chips, or crackers.

- Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight.
- Take cranberry mixture out of the refrigerator and stir all ingredients together. Strain out all liquid using a colander with small holes.

- Pour cranberry mixture atop cream cheese and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
