    This naturally gluten free Warm Cranberry Dip is simple and it is greater than the sum of its’ parts. Canned cranberry sauce gives it a pretty pink hue, toasted almonds add crunch and the green onions make this a dynamite cheesy dip you don't want to miss.

    This dip is worthy of any dinner, casual or fancy, from October to January. Cranberries are harvested in the fall yet I have recipes that use them in all forms. That means fresh, frozen and dried, as well as the canned cranberry sauce for this 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.

    • Miracle Whip
    • cream cheese
    • feta cheese
    • canned whole berry cranberry sauce
    • slivered almonds
    • green onions
    • Serving: raw veggies and gluten free crackers

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Recipes Using Cranberries

    Saving your absolute favourite recipes and repeating them year after year is the best way to build a collection of fabulous recipes you're excited to make all over again. This is part of my seasonal strategy for cooking.

    I have dried cranberries in my pantry all year for recipes like granola bars and granola. As soon as fresh cranberries are available I buy them along with cans of cranberry sauce. Then I'm ready to make any of the recipes on my list, like this Warm Cranberry Dip.

    This recipe doesn't have orange in it but the tartness of cranberries pairs well with orange. You'll notice that combination in this list of recipes worth repeating.

    • Winter Greens with Cranberry Port Vinaigrette
    • Cranberry Orange Muffins
    • Cranberry Orange and Cilantro Salsa
    • Cranberry Orange Scones
    • Cranberry Orange Chicken

    Equipment

    One idea is to make and label one or more individual portions of the dip. I do this using small Mason jars or ramekins that are oven and microwave safe. A short, 1-cup size Mason jar filled half way gives a generous portion of dip and has enough room for dipping.

    If you love Mason jars as much as I do, check out this post, Organize For Success with Mason Jars. They're so versatile you just might end up buying some.

    • 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.
