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®.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Chop the cranberries finely. This will help them to blend smoothly into the dip.
- Use a good quality cream cheese. The cream cheese is the base of the dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand.
- Let the dip chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken up.
