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 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, honey and cinnamon until smooth. Spread into a shallow bowl or 9-in. pie plate. Top with cranberry sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle with almonds. Serve with 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.
