Cranberry Dip!

Hi everyone! For my Personal PIGskin Challenge this week, here's an easy seasonal dip. A friend suggested it, I took it to the office and it got a big thumbs up-thanks Carol!
Hope you love it if you try it:@)
Cranberry Dip
1-8oz package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons honey
Can of whole berry cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon orange zest 

Directions:
  1. Mix cream cheese, sour cream and honey with mixer until combined.
  2. *Line a bowl with plastic wrap and press cream cheese mixture into bowl (so it will be the shape of the bowl when chilled).
  3. *Let chill for at least an hour.
  4. *Unmold dip mixture on a serving plate (turn upside down and remove plastic wrap).
  5. Stir the cranberry sauce with a fork to loosen it up and get into a spreadable consistency.
  6. Spread cranberry all around and top with orange zest.
  7. Serve with crackers and pretzels.
Notes:
  • *I think you could mix it and just add it right to the bowl you plan to use, the chilled "shape" gets lost very quickly in the cranberry sauce.
  • I just zested one orange, didn't measure it.
  • It would be great with some cinnamon and/or ground cloves added to the cranberries. Finely chopped walnuts or pecans would be good too.
