For a smoother dip, blend half of the cranberry mixture in a food processor after the refrigeration period and then mix it back into the rest of the mixture. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your preference for heat. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. This dip can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store the cranberry mixture separately from the cream cheese until ready to serve. Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
