Cranberry Jalapeno Cream Cheese Dip

This is a fun dip that is both sweet and spicy. I got the recipe by varying other cranberry salsa and dip recipes I have found. I got the idea of the fusion of oil from a friend. There are many ideas for use and a great item to take along when you want to surprise your friends with something they probably have not tried. Serve with Triscuits®, pita chips, or crackers.

Step: 1

Heat a saucepan over medium heat; add oil. Stir cranberries into hot oil and cook until cranberries absorb most of oil, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix sugar, water, jalapeno peppers, lemon juice, cilantro, and salt into cranberries; cook until reduced and softened, 10 to 15 more minutes. Add more water if needed.

Step: 2

Pulse cranberry mixture in a food processor or blender until very smooth; cool completely.

Step: 3

Stir cooled cranberry mixture and cream cheese together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
