Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Stir in the dried cranberries and cook, allowing them to absorb most of the oil, until they begin to plump and soften. (5-10 minutes)

03

Step

In the same saucepan, incorporate the sugar, water, diced jalapeños, lemon juice, cilantro, and salt into the cranberry mixture. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces and thickens, achieving a jam-like consistency. Add more water if the mixture becomes too dry. (10-15 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the cranberry-jalapeño mixture to a food processor or blender. Pulse until completely smooth. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Allow the cranberry mixture to cool completely. (30 minutes)

07

Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled cranberry mixture and the softened cream cheese. Stir until thoroughly combined and the dip is smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)

For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños.
To enhance the flavors, refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve with an assortment of crackers, pita chips, tortilla chips, or even fresh vegetables.
