Instructions
- Add all ingredients except cream cheese and crackers to the bowl of a large food processor and pulse 20-30 times until finely chopped. Let sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Unwrap the cream cheese and place on a serving plate or bowl. Top with the cranberry salsa and serve with crackers or chips.

Notes
- food processor
- Like any salsa, you can easily adjust this recipe to suit your tastes by adding an extra jalapeño, more or less cilantro, or adjusting the sugar.
- We like these with buttery Ritz crackers, but you will need to be sure to have a small knife for spreading the cream cheese and salsa since the crackers aren't strong enough to scoop this dip on their own. Wheat Thins are another good choice though and they are sturdy enough not to break.
- You can even use frozen cranberries. Do not thaw first. Just add them to the food processor and pulse.
