Christmas Chutney Star

Here’s another quick and easy holiday dish that will tickle your taste buds. Need an appetizer for a Christmas or New Year’s Eve Party? Then keep these 3 ingredients on hand along with your favorite crackers and pretzels. Allow about 5 minutes tops to prepare this, but enjoy it all evening.

 I usually mix the chutney in one of my larger Tupperware bowls that has a lid. Not all my bowls have lids anymore, but that’s beside the point. This way, you can mix and store the chutney right up until serving time.

 Mix Together:

• 1 small jar of orange marmalade or apricot preserves (I saved my jar for the ounce amount, but I can’t find my jar now because the kitchen is a wreck right now. I’m guessing around 8oz.)
• 2 cups salsa

 Store in airtight container until ready to serve.

 Take 1 8 oz package of cream cheese and cut into 5 wedges to form a star. Arrange the wedges on a pretty dish in the shape of a star. For easier serving, let the cream cheese star come to room temperature. Then pour chutney over the star. Serve with crackers or pretzels, dip style. Warning, this is addictive. Bet you can’t eat just one cracker.
