This Cranberry Jalapeno Dip is amazing. I had it at my friend Kristie's Cookies and Cocktails Party and I immediately decided to make it for New Year's Eve. My husband really liked it too!

Equipment
1 glass pie pan
Ingredients
16 oz.fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
2wholefresh jalapenos, seeded and chopped
1/3cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2cup granulated sugar
2boxescream cheese, softened
3TBSP fresh lime juice, bottled is ok
1boxcrackers of your choice
Instructions
Using a food processor or blender chop up your cranberries, jalapenos and cilantro. I like this to be a very chopped consistency so that the flavors blend.
Add 1/2 cup sugar and fresh lime juice and place into a covered dish and refrigerate up to 24 hours. I advise at least 12 hours.
Soften your cream cheese until it is spreadable. You can transfer to the pie pan and even heat it for 30 seconds. Spread until creamy and smooth in the pie pan.
Drain off any extra liquid and pour over the cream cheese.
Enjoy this delicious appetizer with crackers of your choice. I use gluten free crackers personally, but a butter cracker or club cracker would be nice.
