Notes
– Make the whipped feta and hot honey up to 2 days ahead; store separately and assemble before serving.
– Use leftover cranberry sauce from holiday meals for added convenience.
– For a spicier dip, increase the amount of chili flakes in the honey.
– This dip is best served chilled or at room temperature.
– Not suitable for freezing — enjoy it fresh!
