1. 1. Prepare the Cranberries and Jalapenos: In a food processor or blender, pulse the fresh cranberries until they’re coarsely chopped. Transfer the chopped cranberries to a bowl. In the same food processor or blender, finely chop the seeded jalapenos and add them to the bowl with the cranberries.

2. 2. Make the Creamy Base: In a medium-sized bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Then, add the sour cream and beat until well combined.

3. 3. Combine the Ingredients: To the creamy base, add the chopped cranberries and jalapenos, along with the granulated sugar, dried oregano, and salt. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until they’re evenly incorporated.

4. 4. Chill and Serve: Transfer the Cranberry Jalapeno Dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve the dip chilled, with your choice of crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
