  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12-ounce) package fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • Crackers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, water, and apple cider vinegar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the minced jalapeños and chopped cilantro. Let the mixture cool completely.
  4. Spread the softened cream cheese in a shallow baking dish or pie plate. Pour the cooled cranberry mixture over the cream cheese.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite crackers.

Notes

For a milder dip, use only one jalapeño or remove the seeds and membranes completely. Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve with an assortment of crackers, baguette slices, or even tortilla chips.
