So I had mentioned earlier about this cracker spread I had found that used red pepper jelly. Well I'm very happy to report that it turned out great, even better the shelf life in the fridge is excellent. You take as much of the mix as needed and then add around 1/4 of the amount of jelly to stick it all together. Simple to make and easy to modify.
- I cup shredded sharp white cheddar. I used half extra old and half 2 year old and used the manual food processor instead of shredding it. No doubt 4 year old would have even more flavour.
- I cup fine chopped nuts. I used cashews because that's what I had, but pecans or walnuts would work fine
- 3 green onions, fine chop
Mix together in a sealable dish. Remove as much as needed and then mix in enough jelly to stick it all together just before serving. I also had it with a thin slice of Alpen Salami on the cracker first and it was excellent. The texture of the spread is just right too. I can also see fresh chopped garlic working real well with this too. Next batch I will add some for sure, I just got a pound of Russian Red that I traded for some Music.
Cheers
