Cranberry Jalapeno Dip
Cranberry Jalapeno Dip combines fresh cranberries, jalapeno, and green onions finely minced and mixed into a whipped blend of softened cream cheese and sour cream. The dip balances the tartness of cranberries with the heat of jalapeno and the creaminess of the cheese, resulting in a spread with bright flavor and a smooth, spreadable texture ideal for crackers or bread.

- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
- 1 /2 cup sugar more or less to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the cranberries, jalapeno, green onions 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.
