With the red pepper jelly this appetizer looks so nice on a holiday plate. I’m using Royal Worcester Holly Ribbons, but this cream cheese spread would also look great on Noritake Holly & Berry or Spode Christmas Tree Tray, which is less expensive. But don’t just serve this during the holidays, it tastes great, and you can serve it any time of the year.
