Ingredients

1 ½ cups fresh whole cranberries
1 medium jalapeño stem, seeds, and membranes removed
2 stalks chopped green onions
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese
¼ cup sour cream

Instructions

In a blender or food processor, add 1 ½ cups fresh whole cranberries, 1 medium jalapeño, 2 stalks chopped green onions, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse a few times, leaving the mixture chunky, not fully blended.
Spoon the cranberry mixture into a fine mesh strainer and strain the liquid well, reserving some liquid for later.
In a medium-sized bowl, add 1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese and ¼ cup sour cream. Mix using an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the cranberry mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir until combined. Add a splash of the reserved juice to add color. You can also add extra liquid if you want a creamier texture dip.
Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Taste and add additional sugar or salt, if needed. Serve with crackers!
