Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces fresh, uncooked cranberries
1/4 cup green onion
2 fresh jalapeno peppers
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
16 ounces cream cheese (whipped)

Steps:

  • Use hand food chopper to chop cranberries. (It is best to not use a food processor to chop these as the cranberries liquefy too much.)
  • Chop green onion and jalapeno peppers.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add chopped cranberries, green onion, and jalapenos.
  • Add sugar, lemon juice, and salt on top of cranberry mixture and stir gently until blended.
  • 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.
  • Whip softened cream cheese with hand mixture until smooth (about 2 minutes) and spread cream cheese over bottom of a pie plate or 9x9 dish.
  • Pour cranberry mixture atop cream cheese and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Spread over Ritz crackers.
