Cranberry Jalapeño Dip

A zesty and creamy cranberry jalapeño dip that combines sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors perfect for holiday parties or game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the fresh cranberries and chopped jalapeño; pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, honey, lemon juice, and salt to the processor.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.
  6. Serve chilled with crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

For a milder dip, remove the seeds from the jalapeño completely or substitute with a milder pepper. This dip pairs wonderfully with toasted baguette slices or pita chips.
