I'm a huge fan of what I call “cheater recipes” You know the ones; they're incredibly simple to make, take only moments, but when you put them together just right, magic happens. My brother-in-law's family makes a dip that they serve with potato chips; the first time I tried it, I fell in love and asked for the recipe. You know what it is? It's cream cheese, ketchup, and onion. That's it. Like I said, magic.
One of my other favorite cheater recipes is brie and jelly; it's a delicious appetizer or snack that's always a crowd-pleaser. You simply take a wheel or wedge of brie, pile some jam or jelly on top, and stick it in the oven until everything gooey and delicious. One of the best parts is that is works with sweet and savory options; I've even seen it made with caramel instead of jelly! YUM. The creaminess of the brie, with the kiss of flavor from the jelly. Delish.
It's because of this favorite combo of mine that I was so excited to try it out with new Smuckerโs Fruit & Honey Strawberry Jalapeรฑo Fruit Spread. It's better for you, because it's sweetened with honey, and the jalapeรฑo gives it just the right amount of kick. It comes in more traditional flavors too, like plain Strawberry, or Triple Berry.
I've upgraded this dish from an appetizer to an entrรฉe by adding in chicken; these familiar flavors I love are the perfect accompaniment to a simple chicken breast, and is deceptively fast and easy to put together.
