Appetizers

Apple-Cherry Chutney

Create a colorful charcuterie tray using this lightly spiced apple chutney and an assortment of cheeses, nuts, cured meats, crackers, or sliced baguette, and fresh and/or dried fruit.

Apple-Pear Butter

Sure, you've had apple butter (we included that classic recipe here, too), but with this recipe you can create more complex flavors with apple-pear or caramel-apple butters.

Cheddar Wafers

Store-bought crackers? No need—these easy, cheesy cheddar snacks are far tastier. Package them up in cute containers to share as food gifts.

Classic Nachos

The best part about making nachos is getting to create it a recipe that's all your own. Bake a batch using our classic nacho recipe, then go to town with topping options such as cilantro, jalapeno peppers, sour cream, and salsa. Or switch it up entirely and use fries or pizza crust for your "chips."

Easy Half-Sour Pickles

These fermented pickles are just on the edge of sour. And while you'll have to be patient for over a week for the best flavor, trust us when we say they'll be so much better than any pickles you can buy at the store.

Strawberry Rhubarb Salsa

Who said salsa couldn't be sweet? This strawberry rhubarb salsa is the perfect appetizer for your next dinner party to impress your friends. Serve with cinnamon pita chips and treat yourself to a pre-dinner dessert!
