Holiday Cranberry Jalapeno Dip

I'm so excited to share the absolute best Holiday Cranberry Jalapeno Dip you will ever have. This was inspired by @JesseandLindsey a few years back and I seriously cannot get enough of it. I've been bringing it to both Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving and it's been a huge hit between friends and family.

Hey, speaking of dips, do you have my It's Saucy E-book? If not, you definitely should!

Now, back to the cranberry jalapeño dip.

Holiday Cranberry Jalapeno Dip

Sweet, Spicy and Cream Cheese?

Yep. It is the perfect blend of sweet and freshness with a little spice from the jalapeños. Then you add it on top of the cream cheese and it is, chef's kiss.

What can I dip in it?

I set out an assortment of different crackers but you could even use tortilla chips. I also have a feeling this would be really good on a piece of toast. Let me know if you try it!

Do I have to use Monk Fruit?

No, you don't have to but if you want to make it lower calorie and low carb I like to. I use Splenda's Monk Fruit that I get off Amazon or at my local grocery store. Otherwise, feel free to use regular sugar.

Here's what you'll need:

• 1/4 cup green onion
• 4 jalapeños
• 12 oz fresh cranberries
• 3/4 cup monk fruit
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/8 tsp salt
• (2) 16 oz cream cheese
• Baking dish
• Mixing bowls

Directions:

1. Start by chopping 1/4 cup of green onion.
2. Next, chop your jalapeños in half and clean out the seeds and veins.
3. Continue to dice your jalapeños very finely.
4. Then, add your fresh cranberries to a food processor or blender and pulse. Be careful - it's very easy to over mix and turn it into liquid.
5. In a bowl, mix together your cranberries, green onion, jalapeño, 3/4 cup monk fruit, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/8 tsp salt.
6. Cover and add to the fridge overnight.
7. The following day, simmer all ingredients on low for 5-7 minutes and then let cool.
8. In a baking dish, add your cream cheese and spread evenly.
9. Lastly, add your cranberry mixture over the top.
