How to Make Cranberry Orange Spread

  1. In a medium bowl, soften the cream cheese to room temperature. This makes it easier to mix.
  2. Add 1 (14 ounce) can of cranberry-orange sauce and gently fold it into the softened cream cheese until well combined.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. If you prefer a smoother spread, you can pulse the pecans in a food processor before adding.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also firms up the spread for easier serving.
