What each ingredient does

Cranberries
Provide tart fruit flavor and a bright, acidic note that balances the nuts.
Peanuts
Add richness, fat and a toasty nutty flavor to the mixture.

The step that matters

Rub the mixture until smooth. Rubbing breaks the chopped cranberries and flaked peanuts into a uniform paste. Incomplete mixing leaves gritty pieces and uneven texture throughout the cheese.
