Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the cranberries, green onions, jalapenos, and cilantro until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want small, even pieces.

- When ready, add the cream cheese to a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Mix in the sour cream.
