Gluten Free Warm Cranberry Dip

Ingredients

Dips attract crackers and gluten so they have a high risk of cross contact. The best way to be sure you can enjoy a dip is to make it yourself. With or without gluten free crackers.

• Miracle Whip & cream cheese - The base of a creamy cheesy dip.

• Feta cheese - The salty tangy taste of feta creates the right balance in this dip.

• Canned whole berry cranberry sauce - So easy you'll want to keep a few cans in your cupboard all fall.

• Slivered almonds & green onions - These are the secret ingredients. You must toast the almonds and you must not skip the green onions.

• Serving - A variety of raw veggies plus or minus gluten free crackers

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions for Single Portions of Dip

If you're taking this dip to a social gathering make individual portions in low, wide-mouthed one-cup Mason jars. They can be reheated in the microwave or oven and are easy to eat out of. You can put your dish on the table with everyone else and still be confident that your portion is safe to eat.

Storage

This dip can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container. When you're ready simply spread it into the serving dish, bake and serve. Leftovers will keep for another two days but there aren't usually leftovers.

Get The Tools

Savvy celiacs sometimes need to portion up their own food to guarantee they can eat safely. These are some ideas for small serving of anything from dips to desserts.

• Sets of oven safe ceramic baking dishes often have a small size that works for individual servings of this dip.
• Wide-mouth 1-cup size Mason jars that I'd use to take a dip anywhere.
• Ramekins come in lots of shapes, sizes and colours. I like the ½ cup (8-oz) size ceramic ramekins but you should buy what you like.
• If you love Mason jars as much as I do Organize For Success with Mason Jars is for you. They're so versatile you just might end up buying some new sizes.

Top Tip: Cook with the Seasons

My seasonal strategy includes canned and dried foods too. These cranberry recipes use all forms and I make them all every year.

• Winter Greens with Cranberry Port Vinaigrette is a fancy salad worthy of company. I feel very fancy when I take a leftover salad to work and reheat the dressing in the microwave.
• Cranberry Orange Muffins made as muffins or into a cake. A seasonal must!
• Cranberry Orange and Cilantro Salsa goes with my southwestern inspired turkey menu. Make all or any part of that menu and serve this salsa for a delicious surprise!
• Master gluten free scones and make the Cranberry Orange version in the fall.
• This saucy, oven-roasted cranberry orange chicken is an everyday dinner you'll love.
