Cranberry Salsa Cream and Cheese Appetizer Recipe

Every Christmas holiday my cute sister-in-law makes this INCREDIBLE appetizer. I have lost count of the number of years she has prepared it, but each year I stand amazed at just how good it is. Each sibling could probably pound a recipe themselves… haha…. jk… kinda… ok, we probably could. It is THAT good!

But in all seriousness, this is a MUST MAKE each and every holiday season. It is everyone’s favorite and the first thing to disappear!

The salsa is a blend of sweet, tart and a kick of heat. It is pure holiday bliss packed into one recipe. You pour it over a block of cream cheese and let it cool down the heat and make a flavor and texture combination that is absolutely heavenly.
