So-this recipe is by far the easiest thing you will ever make and manages to be the first to be eaten up at any party I have. My grandmother and mom made it for everything and and now my in laws request it at their holidays!
Get 1 Hebrew National Hard Salami (at my grocery store its kept near the hot dogs). If I am serving a large amount of people I buy it at BJs or Costco as they have the larger size. I score the salami and put it on a piece of tinfoil. I then pour a jar of orange marmelade over the salami (i use a small jar if I'm making the smaller size and large jar if making the larger size). Wrap it up in the foil and put it in the oven around 275 degrees for 4-5 hours. It is delish!!!

Thanks!
Sounds yummy!!! Do people eat it on crackers or on bread?
My absolute favorite appetizer is similar to Lauren's except that it's the block of cream cheese covered in jalapeno jelly or some other type of sweet marmalade. It's so yummy and probably the easiest thing ever. I even came across this idea the other day for doing it for a Christmas party: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bettycrockerrecipes/4163567733/in/photostream
And favorite new drink? Pomosas - pomegranate juice and champagne! :)

Jessica, you are so right! I've had both of those and forgotten about them... they are SO good!
Hi Again,
I usually just serve mine with toothpicks and people slice it and eat it by itself, but you could definitely also serve it with those mini slices of rye bread and it would be so yummy!
We love doing proscuitto wrapped dates--super easy and always a crowd favorite! Just get some pitted dates, split them open and stuff with goat cheese, and wrap it with a slice of proscuitto. Pop it in the oven to get them crisped up and you're done!

Anne, that sounds SO good. I am a HUGE prosciutto and goat cheese fan! Will definitely have to try this!
My favorite appetizer is steamed asparagus wrapped with proscuitto. I use about to stalks per slice of proscuitto. Its so easy and everybody goes crazy for them at holiday parties!
I make Flaky Tomato and Mozzerella Tart every year for our New Year's Eve party. It's usually the first thing that's gone. This appitizer has no meat, which is a very bold thing to try in College Station, Texas. Last year, 3 guys ate it and I didn't even hear any complaints muttered...
Here it is.
http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/flaky-tomato-mozzarella-tart-00000000060004/index.html
Basically, preheat oven to 425, flour your surface and roll 1/2 sheet of puff pastry to 9x6 rectangle. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate 30 min. Prick dough all over with a fork and top with 1 cup grape tomatoes and 4 oz grated mozzerella. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Bake until golden 20-25 minute. Cut into pieces.
Oh. My. Gosh. Yall.
I forgot to tell you that I received the cards and just love them so much!! Thank you again!
Jessica, you are so welcome! So glad you love them :)
