Recipe: Cranberry Dip

I brought this dip/cheeseball to work a couple of weeks ago and it received a wonderful response! My apologies to the creator; I don’t know who you are. I received the original recipe from my mom and since I couldn’t find cranberries in Oklahoma in July….I changed some of the amounts and the way it’s supposed to be assembled and made it my own.

Next:
