Ingredients
1 (12 oz bag) or 3 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained1/4 cup minced green onions2 sm (aprox. 2 tbsp) jalapeno peppers, cored, seeded and minced1/2 cup sugar1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger2 tbps fresh lemon juice2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese (not figured into nutritional info)Cranberries and/or cilantro sprigs for garnish
Directions
Rinse, drain and pick over cranberries, (discarding all that are soft or bruised). Place them in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.

Place crushed cranberries in a bowl; mix together with onions, jalapeno peppers, sugar, cilantro leaves, ginger and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours so flavors develop (salsa will be too sharp and tart to begin with).

On a serving plate, place cream cheese; cover with the dip. Garnish, if desired, and served with crackers.
