Preparation

Cooking
- Add the cranberries, white sugar, green onions, cilantro, lemon juice, jalapeño, and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- Cover and let marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 2 days.
- I usually let it marinate overnight.
- The sugar will dissolve and the cranberries will become less tart.
- To assemble the dip, spread the vegan cream cheese in a thin layer on the bottom of your serving dish.
- Spoon the cranberry mixture onto the cream cheese layer leaving behind any extra liquid behind in the bowl.
- Serve with crackers.
