Notes

  • The Red Spread - I use my cranberry chutney that I make and freeze over Thanksgiving. It's perfect on brie and the red color is just right for Valentines day.  Any store-bought red spread will work just as well in its place.
  • The Ricotta Spread - scoop out ¼ cup of the cheese in a bowl, add the honey and just gently swirl it in and top it with a sprinkle of the red pepper on top. Sweet with a little kick at the end... It's easy and delicious!
