Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries
  • 1 jalapeno, finely diced (I remove the seeds)
  • 6 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 1-1/2 Tbsp)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked pepper
  • 2 blocks cream cheese

Instructions
 

  • Rinse and drain the cranberries in a colander, removing any that are soft or mushy. Place them in the food processor.
  • Add the jalapeno, green onions, cilantro, ginger, sugar, lime, salt and pepper. Pulse to desired consistency. (I like mine pretty fine.)
  • Place in a airtight container with a lid and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours so the flavors can meld together.
  • When ready to serve, spoon 1/2 of the cranberry salsa over each of the blocks of cream cheese and serve with crackers or chips. (Or do like us and save half of the salsa and a block of cream cheese to pull out later in the evening.)
