Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries (washed and picked through)
- 2 large jalapeños (seeded and finely minced)
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 16 ounces cream cheese (two 8-ounce blocks, softened)
- Crackers or baguette slices for serving
Instructions
- Place the fresh cranberries in a food processor. Pulse them until they are coarsely chopped. Do not over-process them into a paste.
- Transfer the chopped cranberries to a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the minced jalapeños, green onions, cilantro, sugar, lime juice, and salt to the bowl with the cranberries.
- Stir everything together until the sugar is well distributed.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This allows the cranberries to sweeten and the flavors to blend.
- When you are ready to serve, spread the softened cream cheese in an even layer on a serving platter or in a shallow bowl.
- Strain any excess liquid from the cranberry mixture if desired, then pour the salsa over the cream cheese layer.
- Serve immediately with your favorite crackers or bread.
