CRANBERRY SALSA
A little sweet heat toned down with cream cheese. This dish has "WOW" factor. Serve this dip at your next holiday gathering or office party and get ready for rave reviews! I love the smokey flavor the Chipolte Pepper Flakes added to this salsa. Freezes well! Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Rinse, drain, and pick over cranberries, discarding any that are soft or bruised. Place them in a food processor along with green onion, cilantro, bell pepper, and zest & juice of lime; pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
- 2. Place the cranberry in a bowl; mix together with sugar, ginger and rotel tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours so flavors merge. Don't skip this step, fresh cranberries are tart and bitter. This time is needed to merge the flavors.
- 3. Bring cream cheese to room temperature before serving. Place cream cheese bricks on serving dish; cover with the dip. Garnish, if desired, and served with crackers and/or chips.
- 4. NOTE: Rotel Tomatoes can be found in most grocery stores with the Mexican foods. And, also with canned tomatoes.

[email protected]This salsa is amazing! I made it for a party and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. The flavors are so fresh and bright, and the cranberries add a tart sweetness that really balances out the heat from the jalapeño.
