Introduction
Raspberry-Bliss Brie Jalapeño Boats are an irresistible sweet-heat appetizer that balances creamy, melty Brie with bright raspberry preserves and the gentle kick of roasted jalapeños. They’re elegant enough for entertaining yet simple to prepare, making them ideal for holidays, cocktail parties, and casual gatherings. Served warm, each “boat” delivers a contrast of textures and flavors: soft cheese, glossy fruit, and tender pepper with a hint of spice.
