1
Place the cranberries, ginger, sugar honey and Sriracha in the bowl of the food processor. Pulse on and off several times till cranberries are coarsely chopped. Don't process too much.

Transfer to a storage container and add pomegranate seeds (arils) and orange zest. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or till ready to use.
4
For the crostini, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper, if desired for easy clean up.
5
Place baguette slices on prepared pans. Brush lightly with oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and a grind of pepper.
6
Bake 14 - 18 minutes or until golden. Rotate pans half way through baking time.
7
To assemble whisk cream cheese until creamy. Spread about 1/2 -1 tablespoon on each crostini. Top with a scoop of cranberry mixture and garnish with a bit of orange zest and cilantro if desired.
