Cranberry Pepper Jelly Spread- only 4 ingredients needed for this easy holiday appetizer that can be prepared in just minutes. A block of cream cheese is covered with a mixture of cranberry sauce and red pepper jelly. It’s a classic and always a favorite.

Cranberry Sauce

This sweet and spicy party spread tastes so good on crackers. The cranberry sauce mixed with red pepper jelly adds a wonderful tartness. The bright red color makes it perfect for Christmas. If you have a can of cranberry sauce leftover from Thanksgiving, put it to good use by turning it into a tasty topping for a block of cream cheese. You can either use leftover homemade cranberry sauce or canned whole cranberry sauce for this recipe. Note: The regular canned cranberry sauce that is uniform in consistency can be used instead of whole berry.
Red Pepper Jelly Dip

Pepper jelly is a delightful southern condiment that can be used in so many ways. Red Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette, Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp with Pepper Jelly Glaze, Pepper Jelly Glazed Carrots, Red Pepper Jelly Deviled Eggs with Bacon are just a few great ways to flavor food with pepper jelly.

There are many brands of pepper jelly and they vary in the amount of spice that they have. They are typically much more sweet than spicy. If you want the pepper jelly/cranberry sauce mixture spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
