CHRISTMAS PARTY CRANBERRY DIP RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Christmas Party Cranberry Dip Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries (Ocean Spray)
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (reduced fat ok)
Honey Graham Crackers or Buttery crackers (such as Club or Waverly)

Steps:

  • CRANBERRY SAUCE: Sort through berries and remove any stems and blemished berries (brown or mushy ones). Rinse with water and drain well in a colander. Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan over medium/medium heat, bring water, sugar, and salt to a boil; then boil for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Stir in the cranberries and bring back to a boil; continue boiling 5-6 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries "pop". It's important that they "pop" to release the natural pectin which thickens the sauce. TIP: For a different flavor twist, after the sauce has finished cooking, stir in 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, 1 finely minced fresh jalapeno pepper (remove seeds first), or 2 to 3 tablespoons peach or pineapple preserves. (Shown with a little peach preserves). Pour sauce into a serving dish and cool to room temperature or refrigerate until chilled. Spread the cream cheese in the bottom of a pie plate. Top with cooled cranberry sauce. Serve with crackers. Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose a Variety of Dips: Offer a variety of dips to accommodate different tastes and preferences. Include classic dips like guacamole, salsa, and hummus, as well as unique options like roasted red pepper dip, spinach artichoke dip, and crab dip.
  • Pay Attention to Presentation: Arrange the dips attractively on a serving platter or board. Use colorful bowls or ramekins, and add garnishes like chopped herbs, crumbled bacon, or grated cheese to enhance the visual appeal.
  • Prepare Dips Ahead of Time: Many dips can be made in advance, saving you time on the day of your party. This will allow you to focus on other preparations and ensure that everything is ready on time.
  • Serve Dips with Assorted Accompaniments: Offer a variety of accompaniments to pair with the dips. This might include tortilla chips, pita bread, crackers, vegetable crudités, or sliced baguette.
  • Keep Dips Cold and Fresh: Make sure to keep the dips chilled to maintain their freshness and flavor. You can also place the dips on ice or in a chilled serving bowl to help them stay cool.

Conclusion:

Hosting a Christmas party is a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season with family and friends. Serving a selection of delicious dips is a great way to add festive cheer and provide a variety of snacks for your guests to enjoy. By following these tips, you can create a delightful and memorable dip platter that will be the highlight of your Christmas gathering.
