Pineapple Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese Dip By Kelly Miller • June30,2016 • Updated March 8, 2022 • 5 Comments 5.1K 5 Jump to Recipe Make this Pineapple Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese Dip with pineapple preserves and salsa over a block of cream cheese and some great crackers. Instant summer party food! We recently visited a home & furniture store to look for a new area rug, couch slip covers, and browse the kitchen area. We stopped mid-way through our shopping trip to give the kids a bread and eat at the store’s food area. We just ordered simple food: chicken and fries for the kids and Paul, and a BBQ chicken wrap for me. As we were eating, I noticed the kitchen workers were creating a small buffet table with a simple white tablecloth in the center of the food area. I watched as they brought out various cheeses and crackers, salads, deviled eggs, lemonade, and more along with some small green plants to decorate with. Unfortunately for us, we were about 30 minutes too soon for an annual summer tasting party they throw for customers of the store. But it got me thinking, summer parties are SO fun because they can be SO simple! Everything is green outside with colorful blooming flowers. A small table with a simple solid colored tablecloth and some awesome finger foods and drinks – it’s an instant party! And what if it rains? Finger foods are perfect for parties held unexpectedly indoors! Create small conversation areas all over the main floor with a few chairs around two or three snacks at each area. Between weddings, graduations, and summer holidays, there’s so much to celebrate and enjoy during the warmer months – and certainly not much needed to pull together a great party. This Pineapple Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese Dip comes together in mere minutes and is absolutely perfect for a simple summer party with friends! It’s amazing to me how delicious this cheese spread is given how simple it is to create! I love the cold cheese with the sweet and tangy flavor of the pineapple salsa combination. It goes perfectly with Dare Cabaret Crackers and Dare Breton Original Crackers!

Pat says August 16, 2018 at 2:13 am Walmart sells the Smuckers Pineapple Preserves. That brand was the only one I could find that makes it. However, selection may vary by other Walmarts Reply
