It’s the most wonderful time of the year- for many reasons, but one of them being this delicious dip!!!

Have you seen this at your local Costco? This Cranberry-Jalapeno Dip is to die for. I don’t think I’ve ever come across someone that doesn’t like it! Even my kids love it! (They say the spice is worth it;).

You could easily just eat this as a dip with a variety of delicious things- Wheat Thins (my personal favorite), tortilla chips, pretzels, pretzel thins, apples, vegetables, etc. It’s a beautiful pink and is a great addition to any spread at your table!

But if you don’t think you can get through this whole tub as just a dip, there are lots of tasty ways to use it! Here are a few ideas:

• You could serve it with baguette slices, or toast it on the baguettes so it gets warm and creamy and super delicious! You could eat it plain or top with a cranberry salsa. This would be a cozy appetizer for any holiday party!
• Another delicious appetizer would be simply to take thick turkey slices and roll them with the dip inside!
• A heartier appetizer would be mini turkey sliders- either with turkey burgers or deli turkey and using this dip as the spread.
• Spread on a tortilla and fill it with thanksgiving leftovers!
• If you don’t have any Thanksgiving leftovers, you could fill the tortilla with deli turkey, craisins, celery, and spinach! You really can’t go wrong with either one!
• Use it as a spread on your grilled cheese sandwich!
• Make a monte cristo sandwich and forgo the jelly and use this instead! Or spread inside the sandwich and use the jelly as well for a super sweet and spicy twist on this classic.
• Use this as the base or “sauce” for a homemade jalapeno popper pizza! Top pizza with jalapenos, chicken or bacon, french fried onions, or even some crushed cranberries or cranberry sauce! You could also add additional globs of cream cheese to make it super rich and tasty!
• I have some family members that LOVE eating biscuits and gravy with jelly! I wonder how this would taste on a biscuit topped with country sausage gravy? I can’t imagine it would be bad!
• Stuff a chicken breast with the dip and bake! Top with a little more cranberry sauce and some broiled cheese!
• My mom is awesome and thought she would try it as a pasta sauce for an experiment. Her suggestions are that you’ll want to thin it with milk and add lots of savory components to combat the sweetness- some added salt, chicken, celery, etc.
