I've served salsa-topped cream cheese before, but WOW, with the added preserves, this recipe is to-die-for! I used peach preserves, 'cause that's what I had in the fridge, and it was deelish! I've made it two more times since Christmas, and plan on serving it again for the Super Bowl!

Wow! This was a big hit at my boyfriend's curling party! I made three of these, one for each table, and it almost all got eaten up! The only one that didn't get completely eaten was because half the team that was supposed to eat that serving left early, so instead, my boyfriend refused to let anyone else take it home because he wanted to have it! AWESOME RECIPE!
