Thanksgiving Appetizers
Lots of noshing will be happening during Thanksgiving well before the turkey hits the table. Whether you will be preparing appetizers from scratch or looking for quick items to make your life easier and guests happy, there are plenty of options at the Broad Street Market. In the “easier” category, we’ll be grabbing a few delicious spreads and raw vegetables and crackers for scooping—no cooking required!
• Smoked salmon spread from J.B. Kelly Seafood Connection is made with house brined and hot smoked sockeye salmon, cream cheese and J.B. Kelly’s signature spice blend locally made by Calicutts Spice Co.
• Spinach artichoke dip is housemade by Fisher’s Deli along with their Cajun crab, buffalo chicken, vidalia onion and sour cream and cheddar varieties.
• Fire roasted red pepper dip is made locally in Lancaster for R.G. Hummer Meat and Cheese. Other spreads available at Hummer’s include pimento cheese, jalapeno, bacon/scallions, Cajun crab, chive, garlic/herb and port wine.
• For dipping, we grabbed crackers from Green Ridge Acres and locally grown carrots from Peach Ridge. Melissa at Veg Out recommended local daikon and Bacchus radishes and turnips—all we had to do was slice and eat.
