We love to make an assortment of finger foods around New Year's and holiday get-togethers.

Use any kind of jams, chutney, fresh fruits and nuts you like, and if you are worried about nut allergies, substitute pumpkin seeds the combinations can be endless just get creative.


For those who prefer to bake this is puff pastry, it's super simple, just leave the rind on, use an oil sprayed cookie sheet, add the cheese on the puff pastry (or even crescent rolls), top with jam and nuts, heat the same way.
