Preheat oven to 375° degrees. Spray a mini muffin tin with
cooking spray. Spread a little flour out onto your counter.
Then roll out crescent roll dough and pinch seams together.
Cut crescent roll dough into 24 equal-sized squares. Place
squares into muffin tin slots. Cut brie into small pieces and
place inside the crescent dough squares. Top with a
generous spoonful of cranberry sauce, and a little sprig of
rosemary. Bake until the crescent dough is a light golden
brown (about 15 minutes). Then serve warm.

Place all of the ingredients (except cream cheese) in a food
processor and pulse until desired consistency. Chill in the
fridge for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) to allow
the salsa flavors to blend. Serve over cream cheese and
with crackers. This makes enough to cover two blocks of
cream cheese. Some people prefer to spread the cream
cheese on a serving dish with the salsa on top. Add larger
chunks of cranberry and cilantro sprigs to dress it up and
make a little more festive.
