Had this at family reunion this weekend. Cream Cheese with mild pepper jelly (green). First of all, several past it up because they didn't like the looks of it, but after I made some up and put on wheat thins and took them around and let people try it, they was like...wow, kinda sweet and hot at the same time....it was a big hit after that!!!!

I keep cream cheese for months. Just wrap it up great after opening.

You can find the jelly on the condiments aisle I think. Near the mustard and stuff. If you can't find it there look near the jams and jellies.

umm sausage balls are the bomb

Where do you get red pepper jelly?

Kellye, cream cheese has an expiration date on it. i bought some today with an expiration date of Feb 09, so yes it will keep awhile

These are some good Mustard sauces for the Sausage Balls.

How long will a block of cream cheese keep in the fridge? Is this something you can buy and keep for a while?

Yes, i have tried something similar to this and it is quite tasty

One block of 4 or 8 oz cream cheese

This sounds weird but it is really good.
