Description

Easy and pretty, this bright cranberry dip can be made ahead of time and just poured over cream cheese to serve.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup apricot jam
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

Directions

1 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Combine cranberries with sugar in a 2 quart baking dish with a lid, stirring well to coat all the berries. Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for about 30 minutes, until the cranberries pop and release their liquid.
3 Remove from oven and stir in the apricot jam and pecans. Refrigerate overnight to blend the flavors.
4 To serve, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature, and pour dip over the block of cream cheese on a serving dish. Serve with buttery round crackers or small pretzels.
