Cranberry Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip

Fresh cranberries and jalapeños bring a burst of festive flavor over creamy, soft cream cheese - just right for dipping with crackers. A fun, flavorful twist for your holiday spread!

Instructions

  1. Add cranberries, sugar, water, jalapeno and salt to a medium pot with a lid. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the lid, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 12-15 minutes. Pour the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until cool.
  3. Place the cream cheese on a rimmed plate or shallow bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a shallow well on top of the cream cheese. Pour the cranberry mixture on top and spread to let it run slightly over the edges.
  4. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with crackers.
