Description

This festive hummus with dried cranberries is the perfect make-ahead appetizer for Thanksgiving or the holidays.

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans
1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons chopped pecans
salt to taste

Directions

1 Drain cannellini beans and reserve liquid.
2 Combine cannellini beans, cranberries, olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, cinnamon, and garlic in a food processor; blend until smooth. If too thick, thin out to your desired consistency by blending in some of the reserved bean liquid.
3 Stir in chopped pecans, and season to taste with salt. Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container until ready to serve.
4 Garnish with additional cranberries, pecans, and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
