Now that Thanksgiving is over, I wanted to share this delicious and easy recipe for Rosemary Cranberry Spread that I made. It was such a hit!
I was in charge of bringing the appetizers for Thanksgiving and I was in luck because the week before Thanksgiving I did an appetizer round-up. There were so many appetizers that looked delicious but I had to narrow it down. I decided to try the cranberry rosemary spread & boy was I happy I did (and I am not the only one).
This spread was a hit and between the six of us at Thanksgiving, we ate the whole thing. I served it with a variety of crackers I picked up at Trader Joes but you could use pita bread or chips, crackers, bread or whatever you fancy.
I also think this Rosemary Cranberry Spread would be a beautiful addition to an upcoming holiday party or dinner and add a little red and green to the table.
Rosemary Cranberry Spread
Gather your ingredients: garlic powder, dried cranberries, fresh rosemary & cream cheese.
Chop the rosemary
Once the cream cheese is in the dish add the garlic powder
and the dried cranberries & chopped rosemary
fold everything together and mix it up…
YUM!

Oh good idea! Apples would be delicious!
I have also thought about doing half cream cheese & half Greek yogurt to make it healthier. We’ll see how it comes out.
