Notes
- No food processor? You can use a high-end blender to pulse ingredients for a chunky consistency, although the size and shape of the pieces may be more irregular than you’d get in a food processor.
- Variation: Spread cream cheese on a serving plate or pie plate in an even layer. Top with the cranberry mixture.
