Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (12-ounce bag) or 3 cups fresh cranberries
1/4 cup minced green onions
2 small (approximately 2 tablespoons) jalapeno chile peppers
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons finely-grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
Cranberries and/or cilantro sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse, drain, and pick over cranberries, (discarding all that are soft or bruised).
  • Place the cranberries in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
  • Place chopped cranberries in a bowl; mix together with onions, jalapeno peppers, sugar, cilantro leaves, ginger, and lemon juice.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours so flavors develop (salsa will be too sharp and tart to begin with).
  • On a serving plate, place cream cheese; cover with the dip. Garnish, if desired, and served with crackers.
  • Makes 1 1/2 cups.
