Ingredients
Yield: 10 servings
- 2 packages Arla Original Cream Cheese
- 1 batch cranberry sauce (see below*)
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils**
- 1 small jalapeño, cored and finely-diced
- 1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions
- crackers, for dipping
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (or your desired type of sweetener)
Method
Spread the cream cheese in a single layer in a large serving bowl or plate.
Spread the cranberry sauce on top of the cream cheese in a single layer, followed by the pomegranate arils, diced jalapeño, and green onions.
Plate while it is hot, with crackers for dipping.
Tip in cranberries, orange juice, water and sugar to a medium saucepan, and stir to combine. Raise to a boil over a hot burner, then reduce heat to medium-low and let it bubble gently for 10 minutes or until most of the cranberries have popped.
Lift from heat. Chill the cranberry sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator until completely chilled, about 2 hours. (Or you can make the cranberry sauce up to 3 days in advance.)
