Categories     Appetizer

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces fresh cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar ((add more to taste))
1 jalapeno (, seeded and chopped coarsely (leave the seeds in if you like it spicy))
1/2 cup cilantro
4 green onions
2 tablespoons lime juice
pinch of salt
2 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese

Steps:

  • Place all of the ingredients in a food processor (EXCEPT CREAM CHEESE) and pulse until desired consistency. I like mine fairly fine. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) to allow the salsa to macerate. Serve over cream cheese and with crackers.
  • This makes enough to cover two blocks of cream cheese. Some people prefer to spread the cream cheese on a serving dish with the salsa on top. I prefer to just pour it on top of a block of cream cheese.
  • Depending on how tart your cranberries are you may want to add more sugar. This last batch I added a total of 1 cup of sugar.

CRANBERRY CREAM CHEESE DIP

I got this from a neighbor while living in Germany and modified it a little. She was an American too. This was always a hit at every get-together we had! Fresh cranberries with jalapenos, sugar, green onions, and cilantro makes for great salsa. Add the cream cheese and you have a great dip! Serve with Ritz® crackers or Wheat Thins®.
