Easy Peasy Strawberry Cheesy

So yesterday we had a church BBQ to attend and I was supposed to bring a side, but hadn't planned anything ahead of time.  So as I'm looking around in my pantry and fridge, I see some strawberry jam and get an idea for this creation!  It's gluten free and absolutely delicious!  It was hard to stop eating!  I hope you like it too!

Enjoy!

EASY PEASY STRAWBERRY CHEESY

1 8 oz. brick of cream cheese
1 cup strawberry jam
Couple drops of almond extract (optional)
Sliced almonds (optional)

1)  Pick a cute little serving plate or dish and plop the brick of cream cheese in the middle.

2)  Mix the strawberry jam and the almond extract and pour over the cream cheese.

3)  Sprinkle with sliced almonds.

4)  Serve with gluten-free crackers

NOTES:

~The almond flavor was very subtle, in fact, once you put it on the cracker, it's not super noticeable, but it adds a depth of flavor you'll appreciate!

~I used Glutino Original Crackers and they were delicious with it.  To me, they taste a little like pie crust, so with a sweet topping, they are perfect!
