Fig preservesmix with 2 T of warm water or juice so it’s pourable
Cranberry compote or relish
Sweet pepper relish
Instructions
Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels, cool, then crumble. Set aside.
Wash, dry, then finely chop the green onions. Set aside.
Unwrap the cream cheese and place on the serving plate, one that’s large enough to accommodate the block of cream cheese plus lots of spill-over.
Assemble: Dump your choice of sweet topping, such as the raspberry chipotle sauce on top of the cream cheese. Dump the crumbled bacon on top of the sauce. Dump the chopped green onion on top of the bacon.
Serve with a couple different kinds of sturdy unflavored/plain crackers, apple slices, and/or carrot sticks.
While it’s rare to have leftovers, separate from crackers and cover the entire plate with cellophane wrap and refrigerate for up to three days in the refrigerator.
Notes
For a party with more than 10 people, double the recipe. It is impossible to use TOO much bacon.
