Servings 3 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 4 jalapeños sliced
  • 3/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 8 oz brick cream cheese. at room temperature
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 3 tablespoons-1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the peppers, cranberries, and vinegar in a food processor or small chopper and pulse until finely chopped (alternately, do this by hand and then add the apple cider vinegar in the next step).
  • In a bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, mix in the remaining ingredients until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Scrape into an air-tight container.
  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.  Store leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with pita chips, bread, toasts, or tortilla chips.

Notes

This can all be made by hand if you are a stronger stirrer than I am! It should also work in the food processor, just take care not to pulse it too much or it will become too uniform. You want some chunks in there.
