Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1 small bunch green onions, sliced
- 1–2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 3/4 to 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- For Serving: Crackers or sliced baguette
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cranberries
Rinse and drain your fresh cranberries, then chop them in a food processor. Be careful not to over-process; you want a coarse texture, not a puree.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
Combine the chopped cranberries in a bowl with sliced green onions, minced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
Step 3: Season the Mixture
Sprinkle in the sugar to taste, add lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 4: Chill the Dip
Transfer your mixture to an airtight container, let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
Step 5: Serve the Dip
When ready to serve, give it a quick stir and pair with your favorite crackers or sliced baguette for an irresistible appetizer!
Notes
Note 1: Adjusting Sugar
The amount of sugar can be adjusted based on your preferred sweetness level; taste the mixture before chilling to see if it meets your liking.
Note 2: Jalapeño Heat
For a milder dip, use only one jalapeño and ensure to remove the seeds, as they contain much of the heat.
Note 3: Chill Time
Allowing the dip to chill for an extended period, such as overnight, will enhance the flavors even more.
