- 1 package nova lox or favorite smoked salmon
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 4 oz Havarti chese cubed & room temperature
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- 4 tablespoons spicy red pepper jelly
- crackers for serving
Melt the Havarti and cream cheeses together in the microwave at 1-minute intervals until melted and can be stirred together.
Spray the mold with cooking spray. Line the mold with the lox so that it overlaps and none of the mold is exposed.
Spread the pepper jelly alongside the inside of the lox.
Add the golden raisins to the cheese and stir well.
Pour the cheeses into the mold and fold over any excess lox.
Pop the mold into the refrigerator for 1 hour or until the cheeses have firmed up.
Serve at room temperature with vegetables and crackers. Enjoy!
