Fresh Cranberry Salsa with Cream Cheese Dip

From: ourbestbites.com

           12 oz bag fresh cranberries, washed

         2 jalapenos, minced (adjust according to taste)

         1/2 cup sliced green onions, roughly chopped

         1/4 cup chopped cilantro, roughly chopped

         1/2 tablespoon lime or lemon juice

         1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

         1/2 cup sugar, more to taste if desired

         2 (8oz) packages cream cheese, at room temperature

Instructions

  Place cranberries, jalapenos, green onions and cilantro in a food processor and process until fine. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in lime juice, salt, and sugar. Chill in fridge for about 2 hours or more. To serve, spread cream cheese evenly in a pie plate or other shallow serving dish. Spread salsa on top and serve with crackers.

Notes

          One recipe makes enough for 2 blocks of cream cheese. Often I'll just serve it over one block at a time and save the extra salsa for another night.
