Wonderful holiday dip Ingredients:
cranberry salsa dip with cream cheese |
1 (12-ounce bag) or 3 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained |
1/4 cup minced green onions |
2 small (approximately 2 tablespoons) jalapeno chile peppers, cored, seeded and minced |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced |
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger |
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice |
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese |
cranberries and/or cilantro sprigs for garnish |
Directions:
1. Rinse, drain, and pick over cranberries, (discarding all that are soft or bruised). Place them in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
2. Place crushed cranberries in a bowl; mix together with onions, jalapeno peppers, sugar, cilantro leaves, ginger, and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours so flavors develop (salsa will be too sharp and tart to begin with).
3. On a serving plate, place cream cheese; cover with the dip. Garnish, if desired, and served with crackers.
