Inside: If you are looking for an amazing and unique appetizer to take your next holiday party, look no further – this creamy cranberry dip is easy to make and sure to be a hit.

​We are at the time of year where holiday gatherings are starting and everyone is rushing to think of what foods to take to share with friends and family. It can be hard to think of something unique that people will like, but this festive dip that I am going to share today fits the bill. 

When most people think of cranberries during the holidays, they think of fresh cranberry sauce. Even though it is a common food to share at Thanksgiving, a lot of times there is a lot of leftovers since it isn’t always the most popular dish. Today, I am going to share a recipe for another recipe that uses fresh cranberries, but that is combined with delicious brie and gouda cheeses which makes for a creamy dip that everyone will love. 

What is Cranberry Dip? 

Cranberry dip is one of many cranberry recipes that you can make for holiday parties. This particular easy dip recipe combines fresh ingredients, like tart cranberries, coconut sugar, cinnamon, orange juice and orange zest, with brie and gouda cheeses. It is then baked in the oven and served with crackers. This is a perfect appetizer, because it is easy to make and easy to share. People can scoop it up onto their plate and enjoy it with their favorite crackers or even just with a spoon. 

A common variation is to use cream cheese if you prefer that over brie and gouda, but I find that these decadent cheeses make a huge difference and everyone seems to love it! If you have all the ingredients, you can even make it at the last minute, because it doesn’t take long at all to through together. 

How do you make this Cranberry Dip?

To make this perfect holiday party appetizer, you will gather the following simple ingredients:

  • 1 bag of fresh cranberries (you can use frozen cranberries if that is what you have)
  • 4 Tbsp of coconut sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • Juice from one orange
  • 1/2 tbsp of orange zest
  • Brie cheese
  • Smoked Gouda, cut into cubes (optional)
  • Fresh rosemary

You will start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. In a small bowl combine the coconut sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

Next, in a 9×13 inch baking dish combine cranberries, coconut sugar and cinnamon mixture, and the fresh orange juice and zest, and stir well.

Finally, add the round of brie cheese to the middle of the dish and add the cubes of smoked gouda and the rosemary. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Once cooked, remove from the oven, give it a quick stir, and serve with and assortment of crackers, tortilla chips, pretzel crisps, or pita chips. 

If you don’t have brie cheese, you can replace it with a block of cream cheese and it will still have a similar creamy texture and taste. 

This recipe is great right out of the oven, but you can also save any leftover dip for the next day. Just keep it in an airtight container, or in the same serving dish with plastic wrap over the top and it will be ready to continue enjoying later. 

​The delicious seasonal flavors of this dip make it a perfect option for family gatherings any time of year, and it is my new favorite way to use cranberries.

Inside: Learn what makes up Peruvian Style Ceviche and how to combine all the delicious flavors into a flavorful dish full of rich cultural history.

Few dishes can match the exquisite charm of Peruvian Style Ceviche.

With its vibrant colors, bold flavors, and a rich cultural history, ceviche is more than just a dish; it’s a celebration of Peru’s diverse culinary heritage.

What is Peruvian Ceviche?

Peruvian ceviche, also known as “ceviche peruano,” is a popular and iconic dish in Peru.

It is a type of seafood salad made primarily from fresh raw fish or seafood, which is marinated and “cooked” by the acidity of lime or sour orange juice.

The dish is known for its vibrant flavors, refreshing taste, and the skill required to balance its ingredients.

What is in Peruvian Ceviche?

The star of Peruvian Style Ceviche is undoubtedly the seafood.

Here are the key components that make up Peruvian ceviche:

Fresh Seafood

 The most common seafood used in Peruvian ceviche includes white fish like sea bass or sole, shrimp, squid, and octopus. It’s crucial to use the freshest seafood available to ensure the best flavor and texture.

Tiger’s Milk (Leche de Tigre)

 This is the marinade that “cooks” the seafood. It is made by combining freshly squeezed lime or sour orange juice with finely chopped red onions, aji (chili pepper), cilantro, and a touch of fish stock or broth.

The acidity of the citrus juice essentially cures the seafood, giving it a slightly firm texture and infusing it with the zesty and spicy flavors of the other ingredients.

What can you serve with Peruvian Ceviche?

Peruvian ceviche is often served with a variety of accompaniments. These can include slices of sweet potato (camote), choclo (giant kernel corn), and avocado. Cancha, which is toasted corn kernels, is often sprinkled on top for added crunch.

A garnish of fresh cilantro leaves and a slice of lime on top of the ceviche is a common finishing touch.

How to make Peruvian Ceviche

INGREDIENTS:

500g white fish fillet (tilapia, curvina, sea bass, etc.)
1 large red onion
1 cup of tiger’s milk
1 cup lemon juice (seedless lemon)
1 habanero chili or Peruvian ají limo
1 clove garlic
½ stick of celery
Chopped fresh cilantro to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Corn/choclo to accompany (optional)

Tiger Milk:

1 cup fish broth/water
1 fish fillet, cubed
2 large celery stalks
1 large piece of fresh ginger
4 large garlic
1 habanero chili or Peruvian ají limo
½ cup fresh lemon juice (seedless lemon)
½ Red onion/Purple onion hearts (the one we remove from the onion we fillet for the ceviche)
Coriander leaves to taste
Salt to taste

PREPARATION:

1. We begin by washing the fish very well, let it drain a little and separate one of the fillets and set it aside.

2. We prepare the tiger’s milk. We cut the fish fillet that we reserved into medium cubes and place it in the blender glass, we do the same with the celery stalks and the habanero chili or ají limo if you had it and we place it in the blender, we peel the piece of ginger and We place it together with the other ingredients, add the 4 cloves of garlic, the lemon juice, the fish broth and salt to taste. We grind to integrate all the ingredients, immediately after we add the onion hearts and fresh cilantro, we grind again for about 10 seconds. (if we grind it for more than 10 seconds, the cilantro becomes a little bitter). We strain the preparation to separate the liquid. (This resulting liquid is called tiger’s milk). We remove the foam that forms on top and reserve.

3. We take the cleaned and drained fish fillets and cut them into bite-sized cubes, place them in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste and let them marinate for a while while we prepare the other ingredients.

4. Peel the garlic and crush or finely chop it and add it to the sliced ​​fillets and mix a little.

5. We cut the lemons without seeds and extract the juice until we obtain ½ cup of juice. (you should not squeeze the lemon completely only 80% in a first extraction since, if we squeeze too much, we would be reaching the white part of the lemon and the juice will become bitter)

6. Pour the ½ cup of lemon into the bowl, stir well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

7. We take the red onion, remove the center (heart) and slice it into feather or thin julienne shapes, set aside for a moment.

8. We also chop the habanero chili or ají limo and half a stick of celery into thin julienne strips and set aside.

9. Finely chop the fresh cilantro sprigs and set aside.

10. When we have all the ingredients prepared, it is time to prepare our ceviche.

In the bowl of the fish, place the sliced ​​onion, the habanero chili or Ají limo, the celery, the finely chopped fresh cilantro and the cup of leche de tigre, stir the ingredients well and adjust the seasoning.

11. Ready, it’s time to serve the ceviche, you can accompany it with roasted sweet potato and Peruvian choclo (corn kernels) and toast or crackers.

How to make the Best Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup of flour 

1 1/4 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of oil 

2 eggs 

1/2 teaspoon of salt. 

1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice 

1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 

1/3 teaspoon of baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda 

1/3 cup of milk 

1 cup of Pumpkin pure 

1/4 cup of chocolate chips optional 

Instructions: 

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, ensuring the bread won’t stick.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. This step ensures that the dry ingredients are well combined and eliminates any lumps.

Add in wet ingredients: Add the eggs, oil, milk and then, gently mix in the canned pumpkin puree and any add-ins (like chocolate chips) if desired.

Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep a close eye on it in the final minutes to avoid overbaking.

Cool and Enjoy: Once done, remove the pumpkin bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and Savor: After the bread has cooled, slice it into thick, aromatic pieces. Serve it with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or simply enjoy it as is.

What can you add to pumpkin bread?

Pumpkin bread is versatile and can be adapted to suit various tastes.

You can add ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or even a cream cheese swirl to enhance the flavor and texture according to your preferences.

How long can you store pumpkin bread?

Homemade pumpkin bread can last for varying lengths of time depending on how it’s stored. Proper storage is key to preserving its freshness.

Room Temperature

Pumpkin bread can be kept at room temperature for about 2 to 4 days if stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. However, its shelf life can be influenced by factors like humidity and temperature. If it’s particularly humid or warm, it’s best to err on the side of caution and refrigerate or freeze it sooner.

Refrigerator

Storing pumpkin bread in the refrigerator can extend its freshness. When refrigerated in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, pumpkin bread can stay good for up to 7 to 10 days. Just be sure it’s well covered to prevent it from drying out.

Freezer

For long-term storage, pumpkin bread freezes exceptionally well. To freeze pumpkin bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in an airtight freezer bag or container. Properly frozen, it can last for 2 to 3 months.

When you’re ready to enjoy frozen pumpkin bread, allow it to thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. You can also gently reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven for a warm and fresh taste.
