Need an easy appetizer for the holiday season? Cranberry Pecan Cracker Spread is the answer!!
Quick and easy, Cranberry Pecan Cracker Spread contains the fabulous flavors of Thanksgiving!
It’s perfect for office parties, holiday gatherings, or as a nice little nosh while you’re waiting for the turkey to roast and the football to begin.
I first had this appetizer at a neighborhood party many moons ago. My friend Karen brought it to share and I fell absolutely in love with it. This, on a nice hearty cracker with a glass of cranberry wine, a little Earth, Wind & Fire, maybe some dancing in the kitchen… It doesn’t get any better!
One of the quickest ways to get into the holiday spirit is to make something with orange, cranberry and cinnamon. Am I right? Are they not a perfect co-mingling of flavors? And who doesn’t love a nice cream cheese dip?
Cream cheese adapts so well and creates a great base for so many flavor combinations.
This one has the potential to become a holiday favorite!
I love the tartness of the berries, the crunch of the pecans, the warmth of the cinnamon, and the brightness of the orange.
Thanksgiving on a cracker!

It safely makes 8 – 10 servings. Enjoy!
I was wondering what cracker is pictured with the dip.
Thanks.
Oh gosh – I can’t recall the brand, but I do know they were very buttery…look for q a nice sturdy Ritz-type cracker – I think you’ll be happy!
