Blushing Cranberry Love Dip 💖
A vibrant, creamy, and slightly spicy dip perfect for sharing, especially on Valentine's Day!
Equipment
- Food Processor
- Mesh Sieve
- Mixing Bowl
- Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh whole cranberries
- 1 jalapeño cut in half and deseeded
- 4 green onions whites and light green parts
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 Tablespoons sour cream optional, but recommended for creaminess
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the cranberries, jalapeño, green onions, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Pulse until everything is finely chopped.
- Place a mesh sieve over a small bowl and pour the cranberry mixture into it. Allow the juice to drain and reserve it.
- In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Using a hand mixer (or stand mixer), beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved cranberry juice to the cream cheese mixture and mix well. Then, gently stir in ⅓ to ½ of the chopped cranberry mixture.
- Spoon the creamy dip into your favorite serving dish. Top with the remaining chopped cranberry mixture and garnish with a little extra green onion, a slice of jalapeño, or fresh parsley if you like. Serve this delightful dip with crackers, pita chips, or fresh veggies like celery and broccoli florets.
