Recipe Card
ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 chopped jalapeño
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cups chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- pinch kosher salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- seedy crackers
Method
Step 1
Add cranberries through salt to a food processor and run until ingredients are uniformly chopped and well combined. Let sit 5-10 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, spread cream cheese in an even layer on a plate or serving platter (about 1/4-1/2″ thick)
Step 3
Pour cranberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer, using a spoon to push excess liquid out. It doesn’t have to be perfect, some liquid will remain.
Step 4
Spoon the cranberry mixture on top the cream cheese and spread so it’s completely covering the top. Optional: garnish with sliced lime and extra cilantro leaves. Serve with seedy crackers.
