This recipe sounds yummy and will look great on my holiday buffet table! The cranberries will make great eye candy and I think I will garnish with some cilantro for that holiday red and green combo! Thanks ;)

Mmmmmm this sounds good! My mom always used to put out cream cheese with the jalapeno jelly on top, but I'll have to send her this interesting variation. She will love it! Thanks!
