1 tsp ground black pepper

6 oz cranberries

1 cup pomegranate seeds

1/2 cup cilantro leaves

1 jalapeno, seeded

2 green onions

1/2 cup sugar

Mix the rosemary & black pepper into the cream cheese until well combined.  Spread along the bottom of a 9x9 casserole.

Use a food processor to finely chop the cranberries, cilantro, jalapeño, and green onions.  Transfer to a mixing bowl and fold in sugar, lime juice, and pomegranate seeds until well combined.  Layer on top of cream cheese mixture.
