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®.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 ¼ cups white sugar
¼ cup chopped green onion
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch salt
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

Directions

Chop cranberries in a food processor or by hand. Transfer to a bowl.
Add sugar, green onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lemon juice, cumin, and salt to cranberries; mix well. Cover and store in the refrigerator until cranberries have lost some of their bitter taste, about 4 hours.
Place cream cheese bricks on a plate and pour cranberry mixture over top. Serve immediately.

Cook's Notes:

You can also spread the cream cheese bricks evenly over the plate, and then spread the cranberry mixture over top.

The refrigerated cranberry mixture (without the cream cheese) can also be used as a salsa.
