I made my Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup and this Cranberry Jelly and Goat Cheese Dip recipe.

Well, it was the day before Thanksgiving break in my elementary school.

Us teachers love a good excuse to celebrate any occasion with food.

So we had ourselves a little chili and soup lunch with lots of yummy appetizers and desserts.

How to make Cranberry Jelly and Goat Cheese Dip

The dip starts with goat cheese (or cream cheese) at room temp, some whole berry cranberry sauce, and red pepper jelly.

First spread the goat cheese or cream cheese onto a plate evenly.

Then whisk together half of the can of cranberry sauce (7 oz) and half the jar of red pepper jelly (5 oz).

Next spoon the cranberry jelly over the goat cheese and top with chopped pistachios.

Serve right away with some Ritz crackers or really any cracker you prefer.

This Cranberry Jelly and Goat Cheese Dip is probably one of the most festive holiday appetizers I’ve ever made.

Plus it gets bonus points for being so simple and easy to make.

I love bringing appetizers to celebrations that are served at room temp and also have that WOW factor because they are so pretty and yummy!
