Steps:
- For the cranberry relish: Pulse the jalapeno in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the cranberries; pulse until finely chopped (but not ground). Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sugar, scallions, orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- For the cream cheese log: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, shredded cheese, lime zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt with a wooden spoon or spatula until well blended. Mix in the cilantro. Spoon onto a large piece of plastic wrap and form into an even 1-inch-diameter log. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Right before serving, unwrap the log and transfer it to a serving plate. Drain the cranberry mixture well, then carefully spoon a thick layer of it onto the cheese log, pressing all over to cover. Clean any spills from the serving plate and serve immediately with crackers or toasted bread.

SPICY RED PEPPER CRANBERRY RELISH
A kicky condiment, usually made with cranberries, can offset the neutral (read: bland) yet rich nature of the Thanksgiving meal. This hot red-pepper cranberry relish with jalapeños and cayenne fits the bill. You can keep the seasoning somewhat tame, or ramp up the heat to taste. It will keep for 2 weeks or so; make it in advance, as soon as cranberries are available, and have it on hand in the fridge through the holiday season.

Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are essential for the best flavor and texture. Look for cranberries that are plump and firm, with no soft spots or bruising.
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, wash and dry the cranberries, chop the onion and celery, and zest and juice the orange. This will make the assembly process much easier.
- Use a food processor: A food processor is the easiest way to chop the cranberries and onion. However, you can also chop them by hand if you prefer.
- Don't overcook the relish: Cranberry relish is best when it's cooked just until the cranberries start to burst and the sauce has thickened. Overcooking the relish will make it tough and chewy.
- Chill the relish before serving: Cranberry relish is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. With its tart and tangy flavor, cranberry relish is a great way to add a pop of flavor to your favorite dishes.
