Ingredients

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

1 fresh jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, add the cranberries and 1/4 cup of water.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes until the cranberries burst and soften. Remove from heat and let cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the cooled cranberry mixture, finely chopped jalapeño, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness or salt for flavor, if desired.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if using.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
