Instructions

  1. Spread the cream cheese in a single layer in a large serving bowl or plate.
  2. Spread the cranberry sauce on top of the cream cheese in a single layer, followed by the pomegranate arils, diced jalapeño, and green onions.
  3. Serve immediately, with crackers for dipping.
  4. Add cranberries, orange juice, water and sugar to a medium saucepan, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes or until most of the cranberries have popped.
  5. Remove from heat.  Chill the cranberry sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator until completely chilled, about 2 hours.  (Or you can make the cranberry sauce up to 3 days in advance.)
