I got this from a neighbor while living in Germany and modified it a little. She was an American too. This was always a hit at every get-together we had!
Fresh cranberries with jalapenos, sugar, green onions, and cilantro makes for great salsa. Add the cream cheese and you have a great dip!
Serve with Ritz® crackers or Wheat Thins®.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
Directions
Step 1
Chop cranberries in a food processor or by hand. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 2
Add sugar, green onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lemon juice, cumin, and salt to cranberries; mix well. Cover and store in the refrigerator until cranberries have lost some of their bitter taste, about 4 hours.
Step 3
Place cream cheese bricks on a plate and pour cranberry mixture over top. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Notes:
You can also spread the cream cheese bricks evenly over the plate, and then spread the cranberry mixture over top.
