In your sauce pan, combine the cranberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat this over medium heat, covered, until it begins to boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the berries break down and the sauce is thickening up.
6 Oz Fresh Cranberries, ½ Cup Water, ¼ Cup Sugar, 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Once thickened, transfer the cranberry sauce to a bowl and place it in the fridge to chill for about an hour.
Using your spatula, or in a mixer, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth. Place it in a shallow dish and form it into a bowl shape.
8 Oz Cream Cheese
Pour the cranberry sauce over the cream cheese, and top with the onions and pecans. You can leave it as-is or mix it all together, whichever you prefer. Serve with crackers and enjoy!
3 Green Onions, ⅓ Cup Pecans
