CREAM CHEESE JALAPENO CRANBERRY DIP RECIPES

Steps:

• In a food processor or by hand, chop cranberries and jalapeño to a fine dice.
• Add sugar, lime juice, cumin and salt and pulse a few times or stir to combine. Pour mixture into a bowl, cover and place in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Spread softened cream cheese into a large rimmed dish (a 9-inch pie plate works well). Top cream cheese with cranberry-jalapeño mixture.
• Cover and place in refrigerator 2 hours to set.
• Serve dip with crackers.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the cranberries, jalapeno, sugar and salt. Pulse until very finely chopped.
• Place the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl. It is very important that the cream cheese is softened for the best results. Use a hand mixer to whip the cream cheese until it has a soft and smooth consistency. Add the sour cream and beat until combined.
• Drain excess liquid from the cranberry jalapeno mixture. Add the cranberry mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beat until combined.
• Serve right away with crackers and bread for dipping. This can also be made up to one day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. If some liquid separates, just stir the dip well before serving.
