Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Crackers, baguette slices, or vegetables, for serving

  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For a sweeter dip, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. If you like a lot of heat, leave some of the seeds in the jalapeno.
