Cranberry Jalapeno Cream Cheese Dip image

This is a fun dip that is both sweet and spicy. I got the recipe by varying other cranberry salsa and dip recipes I have found. I got the idea of the fusion of oil from a friend. There are many ideas for use and a great item to take along when you want to surprise your friends with something they probably have not tried. Serve with Triscuits®, pita chips, or crackers.

Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup vegetable oil
10 ounces dried sweetened cranberries
½ cup white sugar, or to taste
½ cup water, or more as needed
2 small jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried cilantro

  • Pulse cranberry mixture in a food processor or blender until very smooth; cool completely.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I was hesitant to try this dip. But I'm so glad I did! The jalapenos are not too spicy, and they really add a nice flavor to the dip.

This dip is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a few bags of cranberries in my freezer, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.
