Ingredients

12 ounces fresh cranberries
1/4 cup green onions sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons diced jalapeno seeds and ribs removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounce block of cream cheese softened

Instructions

Place the cranberries, onions, granulated sugar, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until everything is finely chopped.
Transfer the cranberry mixture to an airtight container, and chill for a minimum of one hour. It's best to let it sit for 4-8 hours for maximum flavor.
Place a block of cream cheese on a serving platter. Spoon the cranberry mixture over the cream cheese. Serve with crackers.

Notes

Be sure to use fresh cranberries. Frozen cranberries will not have the same texture, and can release excess water into the salsa.
The recipe calls for jalapeno with the seeds and ribs removed, which creates a mild dip. If you prefer a spicy dip, leave some of the pepper seeds and ribs in.
