Procedure
FOR THE RED BELL PEPPER JAM
Place the drained peppers, sugar, vinegar and salt in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook the mixture until thick-jam should have a small amount of liquid remaining about 30-45 minutes.
Remove from the heat and once cool transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours until cool.
Using clean hands shape the cream cheese into a half of a sphere and place in the center of a 10” serving platter. Remove the jam from the fridge and carefully spoon it over the cream cheese making sure to cover all of the cheese with the jam. Serve with a good quality table cracker.
