A super easy and wonderfully tasty appetizer. Soft cream cheese, home-made preserves, and a crisp cracker. Really not a recipe - just an "assembly instruction". But still a tasty addition to a holiday spread.
Ingredients:
1 Pk Water Crackers (or similar "neutral" cracker)
1 Jar Fruit Preserves (Any fruit will do, the more flavorful and fresh, the better!)
1 Pk Cream Cheese (softened)
Spread some of the cream cheese on the cracker. Don't go to the edge (so guests can pick them up without getting cheesy-fingers). Add a small dollop of the preserves on top of the cream cheese. Arrange artfully on a serving tray.
Note: Using several types of preserves adds variety and appeal.
Note 2: Savory versions with smoked salmon, capers, pickled artichoke leaves, etc., make a wonderful contrast to the sweet crackers. Mix and match on your appetizer tray. The cream cheese will help some of the more "juicy" toppings (like capers, artichokes) keep from making the crackers soggy.
