Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cream Cheese
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften. This will make it easier to spread.
- 2
Spread the Cream Cheese
Once softened, spread the cream cheese evenly on a serving platter or a cutting board using a spatula or knife. Create a smooth layer.
- 3
Add the Pepper Jelly
Spoon the pepper jelly over the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface. You can use as much or as little as you prefer, but 1 cup will give a nice sweet and spicy balance.

Garnish
If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh chives and cracked black pepper over the top for added flavor and a pop of color.
Serving

Serve with Saltines
Arrange the saltine crackers around the cream cheese and pepper jelly on the platter. Guests can scoop up the cream cheese and jelly with the crackers.
