Cranberry Salsa

3 c. fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained (pick out any that are bruised or mushy)
1/4 cup green onions
2 small jalapeño peppers, seeds and ribs removed
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. fresh cilantro leaves
1 T. finely grated fresh ginger
the juice of 1/2 a lemon

8 oz cream cheese
Ritz crackers

Place all ingredients except the lemon juice into a food processor and mix until well blended. Stir the lemon juice into the salsa. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving. Serve by placing the softened cream cheese on a serving bowl then pour 1/2 the salsa over the top. Have plenty of Ritz crackers on hand for dipping!

Tips:
This looks so beautiful when served on a white or cream colored dish.
You want to blend it very well. Not exactly a puree, but definitely not too chunky!
