CRANBERRY SALSA WITH CREAM CHEESE

1 12-oz package fresh cranberries
¼ cup green onion, chopped
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper
1 ¼ cups sugar
¼ teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoon lemon juice
Dash of salt
2 8-oz packages cream cheese
 
Put your cranberries in a food processor.  Chop up green onions, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper into small pieces. Add all ingredients but the cream cheese into a bowl. Mix them all together, cover and store in the fridge for at least 4 hours. The sugar needs some time to soak in to the cranberries and break up their bitter taste.  When you are ready to serve, place cream cheese bricks on a plate.  Spread the cream cheese out as evenly as you can.  Pour cranberry mixture over the cream cheese.  Spread it all around.  Serve immediately with Wheat Thins, Ritz Crackers or tortilla chips.
