Recipe Notes

We used Breton Artisanal Cranberry and Ancient Grains Crackers for this recipe, with great results!
We use uncured, Applewood Smoked Bacon for this recipe.

These Breton Artisanal Cranberry and Ancient Grains Crackers are also great with our favorite Southern-Style Pimento Cheese spread.  I can’t wait to make this Savory Smoked Salmon Cheesecake again and serve it with these delicious crackers.  The cranberry flavor really comes through and adds a wonderful depth to these appetizers.

Thanks so much for supporting the brands that keep us in the SRFD kitchen!  We only feature products that we love, and hope you love them too.

    Such a simple idea with lovely results. Pretty to look at and full of flavor. Though I haven’t tried cream cheese mixed with bbq sauce, you can bet I am going to try it soon. I will also keep an eye out for these crackers. I am ready for all things cranberry!
