CRANBERRY CREAM CHEESE DIP
I got this from a neighbor while living in Germany and modified it a little. She was an American too. This was always a hit at every get-together we had! Fresh cranberries with jalapenos, sugar, green onions, and cilantro makes for great salsa. Add the cream cheese and you have a great dip! Serve with Ritz® crackers or Wheat Thins®.

I can't say enough about this cake, it is moist, dense and buttery!...

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months. Frozen cranberries can be used year-round.
- Rinse the cranberries before using them. This will remove any dirt or debris.
- Cook the cranberries until they burst. This will release their pectin, which will help to thicken the sauce.
- Add sugar to taste. Cranberries are naturally tart, so you may need to add some sugar to the sauce to make it more palatable.
- Add spices to taste. Common spices that are used in cranberry sauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Serve the cranberry sauce warm or cold. Cranberry sauce can be served as a side dish with turkey, chicken, or ham. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches or crackers.
Conclusion:
Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious cranberry sauce that will be the perfect addition to your next holiday meal. So next time you're looking for a festive and flavorful side dish, give cranberry sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
