Serve immediately with buttery round crackers, pretzel crisps, or baguette slices for dipping. (2 minutes)
For an even richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Toasting the pecans before adding them to the dip enhances their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch.
If you prefer a smoother dip, you can pulse the cranberry mixture in a food processor after baking, before adding the apricot jam and pecans.
Consider adding a splash of orange liqueur or Grand Marnier to the cranberry mixture for a more complex flavor profile.
