SPICY AND SWEET CRANBERRY JALAPENO DIP

Steps:

• 1. In a medium-sized bowl, add chopped cranberries, green onion, cilantro and jalapeno. (NOTE: Don't use a food processor to chop these. It is slightly time consuming, but the cranberries will liquify if they are not hand-chopped.).
• 2. Pour sugar, lemon juice and salt over cranberry mixture and stir gently until blended.
• 3. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least one hour. If you prefer less tart cranberries, keep in the refrigerator overnight.
• 4. Take cranberry mixture out of the refrigerator and stir all ingredients together. Strain out the liquid using a colander with small holes.
• 5. Spread cream cheese over bottom of a pie plate or 9×9 dish.
• 6. Pour cranberry mixture atop cream cheese and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• 7. Serve with Ritz crackers and enjoy!

CRANBERRY DIP

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine cranberries with sugar in a 2 quart baking dish with a lid, stirring well to coat all the berries. Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for about 30 minutes, until the cranberries pop and release their liquid.
• Remove from oven and stir in the apricot jam and pecans. Refrigerate overnight to blend the flavors. To serve, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature, and pour dip over the block of cream cheese on a serving dish. Serve with buttery round crackers or small pretzels.
