Hi guys!!! The holidays are right around the corner! I love entertaining for the holidays! But with many holiday parties comes endless appetizers to make or friends who just drop by to say Happy Holidays and I always like to be prepared with an appetizer or two that take no time to make.
My Spicy Cranberry Salsa Cream Cheese Spread is just that! Easy, delicious and it looks so festive! It is so simple to make thanks to using Hunt’s® tomatoes!
I always keep Hunt’s ® tomatoes on hand because not only are they delicious and can help me get in and out of the kitchen in a snap but instead of using chemicals to peel their tomatoes Hunt’s® peels their tomatoes using FlashSteam which is just steam from hot water. So I know there are no chemical by-products on my tomatoes. Also I love that Hunt’s® cans their diced, whole, stewed and crushed tomatoes within hours after harvest, so I know we are getting the freshest tomatoes, yum! That makes all my holiday dishes extra delicious!
So now for my super festive appetizer! First I just softened some cream cheese while I mix my drained Hunt’s® Diced Tomatoes with a little chopped jalapeno for color and spice!
Then I mix a little cranberry sauce with red pepper jelly.
Next I just spread a little cream cheese on each cracker.
Add a dollop of the cranberry mixture.
Next the tomato and jalapeno salsa.
How pretty and festive are these?! And so easy! It takes no time to whip these up.
