Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip

Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip

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®.
