I had this gorgeous looking appeitzer/dip at our Ward Relief Society Christmas Dinner this year. I was at first, hesitant but just one bite and I was hooked! So festive and rich color for Christmas. This is a sweet and spicy to your desire. Amazing how cranberries could become so sweetly yummy! So, give it a try as you gather with family! You too, may like it!

1 12oz bag of fresh cranberries
1 c sugar
4-5 green onions (*I used white and green part of onions)
cilantro (about 2/3 of a bunch or about 1/4 cup chopped)
2 seeded jalapenos (*I used just one, to be mild enough for my kids. But 2 would add more spice and be yummy if you like....I liked it with 2!)
2 8oz packages of cream cheese (*use 1 at a time, unless feeding a big crowd)
crackers (*prefer Wheat Thins, other crackers break easy but can still be used…like Town House or Ritz)
Rinse cranberries and pat dry. Place in food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to mixing bowl. I chopped the green onions, cilantro, and jalapenos until very fine, but next time I will try them in the food processor, too. Combine veggies with cranberries, then add sugar, and mix well. Refrigerate at least an hour for flavors to mix. Serve over a block of cream cheese at room temp. or soft enough so cracker doesn't break when scooping. Enjoy!!
