1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz.) Carnation® Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Speaking of cranberrys, I saw this in a Miles Kimball catalog:

They're waxy, but they're nice! Reminds me (and you'll wonder why) of a time when I was at the home of friends who were newly arrived from Switzerland. The parents both spoke broken English but their daughter Anna spoke none at all. They had ceramic fruit in a basket on their kitchen table. I asked Anna (using mostly visual clues) if she wanted me to eat one, which she did, thinking I didn't know. I asked if her Barbie doll would like to see it, so she ran upstairs to get it and I switched out one for a real apple. When she came back she was giggling like a school girl (for good reason - she was) until I started eating it. Her eyes got as big as saucers so I did what any honorary uncle would do and offered one to her, a ceramic one, of course. Now it was her parents who were giggling but she was not amused!

Apparently nonplused. Just stood there, rigid and expressionless. (That's a great setup for you guys; don't waste it!)
