Raspberry Red Chile Jam Bites
This appetizer is a showstopper we created for our Holiday 2021 Host Box. It checks all the boxes for us when thinking about throwing together for guests: it’s easy, quick, and packed with flavor. The contrasting colors of the deep burgundy hues from the jam and white cheese make this app really pop, perfectly festive for this holiday season…and beyond!
