You can use a variety of salty crackers to scoop up helpings of this slightly sweet cranberry dip. The recipe yields a lot, so it's ideal for large gatherings. —Joy McQuaid, Darlington, Wisconsin

  • 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce

  • Assorted crackers

Cranberry Dip Tips

Can you make cranberry dip with fresh cranberries instead of cranberry sauce?

This version is designed to be made with canned cranberry sauce. For a version using fresh cranberries, try Spicy Cranberry Salsa instead.

How can you make cranberry dip your own?

Incorporate other warm spices, such as ginger, nutmeg or cloves. Serve with your favorite crackers or alongside a charcuterie board.

Can you make cranberry dip ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare this starter a few days ahead of time. Just be sure to top with toasted almonds right before serving. Also, try these make-ahead party appetizers too.
