Wine & Cheese Evening. 
Serve the following combinations on crackers of your choice, I prefer Carr's Water Crackers or melts, but Aldi do a nice savoury cracker too! Of course the Italian crackers and breadsticks are fabulously indulgant - Lay out a cheeseboard, and dress your crackers with different cheese - or just leave your guests to it. Place ramekin dishes or jars of your jellies & chutneys on the board and let the fun begin!

Cream Cheeses, Philadelphia, Port Salut - any savoury jelly - Balsamic Jelly, Piquant Chilli, Jalapeno, Lemon & Ginger, Raspberry, Red Onion Marmalade with Wine & Port, Beetroot Chutney, Ciara's Sweet Pickles
