I recently tried this appetizer recipe and it has become a family favorite! I've never tried anything like it before, but the cranberry/spices/cream cheese combination makes for an absolutely delicious dip!
Cranberry Salsa Dip
12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cup sugar
4 1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
8 oz. cream cheese
Heat all ingredients except for cream cheese in saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring as the cranberries pop and continue stirring until the cranberries are softened and the mixture has a salsa consistency (about 10 minutes). Cool the mixture and then pour over cream cheese. Serve with chips or crackers. Enjoy!
(If you want to store this recipe, make sure to store the cranberry mixture separate from the cream cheese. The cranberry salsa refrigerates well and will last for several days, but not when combined with the cream cheese - learned this the hard way!)
