I wanted to share this amazing dip recipe with you guys that one of our family members made for our Christmas get together. She had crackers for it to go on but I also tried it on little ham sliders sandwiches and it was so good! You can also use frozen cranberries if you want to.
Cranberry Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip
Ingredients
• 6 oz fresh cranberries
• 1 small jalapeno pepper seeded, with membranes removed
• 1 green onion (scallion) white and part of green top, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
Instructions
• Rinse cranberries, discard any mushy ones, and pat dry
• Add cranberries to a blender or food processor, and pulse into smaller pieces
• Add jalapeno, onion, sugar, lime juice and salt, and pulse until finely chopped, scraping the sided with a spoon, as needed
• Add cream cheese to a large bowl, and whip with electric mixer until smooth and creamy
• Spoon relish mixture into cream cheese, and mix until well blended
• Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready to serve. Flavor is better the longer it sits. Taste to see if more sugar is needed before serving
