Notes
- Use fresh cranberries, not frozen.
- For a milder taste, remove seeds from jalapeño.
- If desired, whip cream cheese with a mixer before spreading on platter or bowl.
- This dip is great fresh or refrigerated. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving. The longer it chills, the more juicy the cranberries will become. Feel free to wipe up any extra cranberry juice if desired.
- Both regular and dairy free cream cheese work! Allow cream cheese to sit at room temperature for an hour before making dip. This allows it to become creamy and spreadable.
