Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip
I got this recipe for cranberry cream cheese dip from a neighbor while living in Germany and modified it a little. She was an American, too. It was always a hit at every get-together we had! Fresh cranberries with jalapeños, sugar, green onions, and cilantro make for great salsa. Add the cream cheese, and you have a great dip! Serve with Ritz crackers or Wheat Thins.
