Steps:
- Macerate, i.e.soften, the cranberries by soaking in water (or rum to add a touch of flavor) for 20-30 minutes.
- Microwaving briefly might also work.
- Bring the cream cheese to room temperature (leave out or microwave 30-60 seconds) unless it's whipped.
- Make garlic into paste (squeeze out of skins and mash) Mix garlic paste and cranberries into cream cheese.
- Add salt and pepper to taste (those who prefer sweet to savory may also want to add a teaspoon of sugar or another sweetener).
- Refrigerate for at least two hours.
- Serve with crackers or in tea sandwiches.
Tips:
- Use high-quality cream cheese. This will ensure a smooth and creamy spread.
- Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing. This will make it easier to blend and will help prevent lumps.
- Use fresh garlic. This will give the spread a more intense flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Add the herbs and spices to taste. Start with a small amount and then add more until you reach the desired flavor.
- Chill the spread for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the spread easier to spread.
