Tips:

  • Chop the cranberries finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the spread.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The cheddar cheese is the main flavor in this spread, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheddar cheese that is sharp and flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the spread. Overmixing will make the spread too thick and pasty. Mix the spread just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Serve the spread chilled. This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the spread easier to spread.
