CHRISTMAS PARTY CRANBERRY DIP RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Christmas Party Cranberry Dip Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries (Ocean Spray)
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (reduced fat ok)
Honey Graham Crackers or Buttery crackers (such as Club or Waverly)

Steps:

  • CRANBERRY SAUCE: Sort through berries and remove any stems and blemished berries (brown or mushy ones). Rinse with water and drain well in a colander. Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan over medium/medium heat, bring water, sugar, and salt to a boil; then boil for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Stir in the cranberries and bring back to a boil; continue boiling 5-6 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries "pop". It's important that they "pop" to release the natural pectin which thickens the sauce. TIP: For a different flavor twist, after the sauce has finished cooking, stir in 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, 1 finely minced fresh jalapeno pepper (remove seeds first), or 2 to 3 tablespoons peach or pineapple preserves. (Shown with a little peach preserves). Pour sauce into a serving dish and cool to room temperature or refrigerate until chilled. Spread the cream cheese in the bottom of a pie plate. Top with cooled cranberry sauce. Serve with crackers. Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dip will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a good quality cheese.
  • Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing can make the dip too thick and pasty. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dip before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken up.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: This will allow your guests to choose their favorites. Some good options include crackers, chips, vegetables, and bread.
  • Garnish the dip before serving: This will make it look more festive and inviting. Some good options include chopped herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Christmas dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any holiday party. With a variety of flavors and dippers to choose from, there is sure to be something for everyone to enjoy. So next time you're looking for a festive and crowd-pleasing appetizer, try one of the recipes from this article. You won't be disappointed!
