Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz. cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 cups fresh cranberries
  • 2 jalapeño peppers
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • Place cranberries into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped.
  • Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers. Give them a rough chop. Add them to the food processor, along with the chopped scallions, sugar, lime juice, cilantro and salt.
  • Pulse until the mixture becomes like a relish. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Place the cranberry relish into a mesh strainer set over a bowl to drain out the liquid.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese using an electric hand mixer. Then, fold in the cranberry mixture until well combined. Serve cold or at room temperature.
