This is absolutely the easiest appetizer on the planet! In fact, there's really no recipe. Now, if you're not from these parts, you might be a bit skeptical of the name of this spread. But trust me, it's good! All you need is a block of cream cheese (regular or reduced fat, not fat-free) and a jar of red pepper jelly. (I like Braswells brand, which is made in South Georgia, because it has a little kick to balance the sweetness). The creaminess of the cheese is the perfect foil for the sweet-and-slightly spicy flavor of the jelly. To serve, place the cream cheese on a plate and spoon the jelly over the top. Then spread it on crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sea salt bagel chips (my favorite). Enjoy!
