Add orange juice, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, and sea salt to a small saucepan.

Stir to combine, then add cranberries and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes until cranberries have burst.

Lightly mash the cranberries with a potato masher, then transfer to a glass container with a lid to chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight.

Put an 8 oz block of cream cheese on a serving plate or cheese board.

Use a spoon to gently make a well in the center of the block of cream cheese.

Pour chilled cranberries over the cream cheese in the well.

Top with sliced green onions and serve with a cheese knife.
