12 ounces fresh cranberries, diced

1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump and firm, with a deep red color. Avoid cranberries that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use a food processor or blender: This is the easiest way to make the dip, as it will help to finely chop the cranberries and jalapeños.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeños to your taste: If you like your dip spicy, add more jalapeños. If you prefer a milder dip, use fewer jalapeños.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: Tortilla chips, crackers, and vegetables are all great options.
  • Make the dip ahead of time: The dip can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
