CRACKERS, CREAM CHEESE, AND PEPPER JELLY



Crackers, Cream Cheese, and Pepper Jelly image

Another childhood favorite of mine for a snack or appetizer. I remember my mom telling my grandma that we should introduce her to "crackers, cream cheese, and pepper jelly" and grandma said, "who are they, your cats?" Lol. This is always a hit. Nowadays with my IBS I'd have to substitute regular or light or fat-free cream cheese with a non-dairy version, such as Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese. You can purchase the tub and spread the cream cheese from that, or you can buy the brick-style cream cheese (although I don't think Tofutti makes a brick-style) and spread the pepper jelly on top, refrigerate, and then spread on the crackers. I always did it from the tub. Serving size is an estimate, depends on how much of each ingredient you want to use. Cook time is chill time if you use the brick-style. You should be able to find the pepper jelly in the regular jam/jelly section of your supermarket.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

48 wheat crackers (I used Wheatsworth brand)
8 ounces cream cheese (in brick or tub, light, fat-free, regular, or non-dairy Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese)
8 ounces mild green jalapeno jelly (I think it comes in 8oz jars, but maybe 6oz)

Steps:

  • If using brick cream cheese, you can spread the pepper jelly over the entire brick and refrigerate then place on serving plate with wheat crackers.
  • Otherwise, just spread desired amount of cream cheese on a cracker, then top with desired amount of pepper jelly. Enjoy! :).

Tips:

  • Choose the right crackers: Use sturdy crackers that can hold up to the cream cheese and pepper jelly without getting soggy. Some good options include water crackers, Ritz crackers, or wheat crackers.
  • Use high-quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the star of the show, so make sure to use a good quality brand. Look for cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
  • Choose a pepper jelly that you enjoy: There are many different types of pepper jellies available, so choose one that you think you will like. If you like spicy food, choose a pepper jelly with a higher heat level. If you prefer mild flavors, choose a pepper jelly with a lower heat level.
  • Spread the cream cheese evenly: When spreading the cream cheese on the crackers, make sure to do it evenly so that each cracker has a good amount of cream cheese.
  • Top with pepper jelly: Once the cream cheese is spread on the crackers, top each cracker with a dollop of pepper jelly. You can use as much or as little pepper jelly as you like, depending on your taste.
  • Enjoy!: Serve the crackers immediately and enjoy!
