This naturally gluten free Warm Cranberry Dip is a seasonal favourite of mine. It’s simple yet the taste is greater than the sum of its’ parts. Toasted almonds add crunch, green onions seem to pop and feta boosts the cheesiness of this dip.

In the fall I put cans of cranberry sauce in my pantry so I’m ready when I need an appetizer. The cranberry gives this dip a pretty pink hue and all together it’s a dynamite fall starter.

Create a gorgeous fall presentation by serving an array of colourful bell peppers and this dip is a winner.

A Seasonal Strategy for Fall

Whether you use fresh, dried or canned cranberry fall is the time of year cranberries are harvested. So try them all, alone or in combination with other fall produce, to enjoy the best of the season. By the time winter sets in I hope to have made many of my favourite cranberry dishes.

Cranberry sauce keeps in the fridge for a few weeks but don’t let it get lost back there. Use it up in this easy weeknight dish Cranberry Orange Chicken. The recipe is included in my list of favourite cranberry recipes below.

Get The Tools – Organize For Success

Dips are most often served in a large low dish ideal for dipping. For anyone on a gluten free diet dips attract crackers so that’s high risk for cross contamination. To avoid this a great solution is to provide individual portions served in a small Mason jar or ramekin.

They’re oven and microwave safe and can be used for anything from salad to dessert. I think a 1-cup size dish filled half way is a generous portion yet leaves enough room for dipping.

• Sets of oven safe ceramic baking dishes often have a small size that works for serving a dip.
• Wide-mouth 1-cup size Mason jars
• 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.
