Raspberry Buttermilk Cheese Spread with Meat Bites

Ingredients

- 1 cup raspberries, fresh or thawed from frozen
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 8 ounces meat of choice, thinly sliced (e.g., ham, turkey)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for sweetness)
- Crackers or sliced baguette, for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Raspberry Buttermilk Mix:
- In a medium bowl, mash the raspberries using a fork until they are broken down but still have some texture.
- Stir in the buttermilk until well combined. Add honey if a sweeter flavor profile is desired.

2. Incorporate the Cheese:
- Gently fold the grated cheddar cheese into the raspberry and buttermilk mixture until evenly distributed.

3. Season the Spread:
- Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.

4. Assemble the Snack:
- Lay out the sliced meat on a serving platter. Arrange crackers or slices of baguette around the meat.
- If using a baguette, consider toasting the slices lightly for added texture.
- Spoon the raspberry buttermilk cheese spread into a small serving bowl and place in the center of the platter for easy access.

5. Serve:
- Serve immediately. Guests can create their own snack bites by spreading the raspberry cheese spread onto crackers or baguette slices, and topping with a slice of meat.
