This is a favorite wherever I take it! I purchased the boucon glaze on amazon. I do not like green onions so I omit them. Still delicious!
I love this recipe, use the Tequila and Lime variety.
I’m getting ready for a big party. How far in advance can I make this. I can vacuum pack. Thanks, Kay
You can make the whole thing except adding the crackers (they’ll get soft) 5 or 6 days in advance and refrigerate. Freezing it makes the cream cheese texture change somewhat and I don’t prefer it frozen.
Is Captain Rodney’s glaze gluten free.
Could you use Green Jalapeño jelly?
Yes
