Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries (one regular size bag)
  • 2 jalapenos, finely chopped
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 14 ounces cream cheese (whipped, regular, or light)

Instructions

  • Add cranberries to a food processor and pulse once. If after once pulse there are still a lot of whole cranberries, pulse once more. Your goal is for most of the cranberries to be cut but you don’t want to puree them.
  • Pour cranberries in a bowl and mix with jalepenos, scallions, cilantro, sugar, lime juice and salt. Let sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (that’s the minimum; longer is fine).
  • When you're ready to complete the dish, spread cream cheese into a pie plate.
  • Remove cranberry mixture from the fridge and place in a fine sieve. Let as much juice drain from it as possible.  
  • Top cream cheese with cranberry mixture. Serve with crackers and enjoy!
