What is better with crackers than Orange marmalade spread? You will love this sweet spread for entertaining whether tailgating or evening at home. Layered orange marmalade, cream cheese, Italian cheese, goat cheese and mandarin oranges in a pretty jar for easy serving. Toasted almonds garnish the top of the spread. Serve with crostini, assorted crackers or basic saltines for a sweet & savory flavor. Everyone will enjoy this spread for snacking. I used this spread for a tailgating party.
How to Make Orange Marmalade Spread
Layering the Spread
Super easy spread to make and it is really delicious. If you want to change the color scheme if you are tailgating, select fruit jam in your team colors and other fruits to make a statement. For example, if your team colors are blue and gold, use blueberry jam, same cheese mix, dried blueberries or fresh ones and top with toasted coconut with edible gold glitter.
