Here's a busy host's dream! Stir together the zippy, Christmasy red salsa ahead of time, then just spoon it over a block of cream cheese when guests arrive. —Linda Mattfield, Eugene, Oregon

Ingredients

1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
1/2 cup sugar
4 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
Assorted crackers

Directions

Place cranberries in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in sugar, green onions, cilantro, jalapeno, ginger and lemon juice. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Place cream cheese on a serving platter; top with cranberry mixture. Serve with crackers.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Sugared Cranberries

Heat 3 tablespoons light corn syrup in microwave until warm; gently toss with 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, allowing excess syrup to drip off. Toss in 1/3 cup sugar to coat. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set, about 1 hour.
