Steps:
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor (EXCEPT CREAM CHEESE) and pulse until desired consistency. I like mine fairly fine. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) to allow the salsa to macerate. Serve over cream cheese and with crackers.
- This makes enough to cover two blocks of cream cheese. Some people prefer to spread the cream cheese on a serving dish with the salsa on top. I prefer to just pour it on top of a block of cream cheese.
- Depending on how tart your cranberries are you may want to add more sugar. This last batch I added a total of 1 cup of sugar.

Steps:
- 1. Rinse, drain, and pick over cranberries, discarding any that are soft or bruised. Place them in a food processor along with green onion, cilantro, bell pepper, and zest & juice of lime; pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
- 2. Place the cranberry in a bowl; mix together with sugar, ginger and rotel tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours so flavors merge. Don't skip this step, fresh cranberries are tart and bitter. This time is needed to merge the flavors.
- 3. Bring cream cheese to room temperature before serving. Place cream cheese bricks on serving dish; cover with the dip. Garnish, if desired, and served with crackers and/or chips.
- 4. NOTE: Rotel Tomatoes can be found in most grocery stores with the Mexican foods. And, also with canned tomatoes.
Tips:
- For a sweeter salsa, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar. If you prefer a spicier salsa, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- To make the salsa ahead of time, simply prepare it according to the recipe and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables. It also makes a great topping for grilled chicken or fish.
- If you're looking for a healthier version of this salsa, you can use non-fat cream cheese and reduce the amount of sugar.
Conclusion:
This cranberry salsa with cream cheese is a delicious and festive appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, give this salsa a try!
