How To Make Raspberry Jalapeño Popper Dip (Step-by-Step)

Common Questions About This Dip (FAQ)
For a milder Raspberry Jalapeño Popper Dip, simply use less of the diced jalapeños and diced green chiles from the cans than the recipe calls for. For a spicier dip, you can easily stir in a small amount of cayenne pepper to the creamy base or the raspberry preserves to boost the heat!
Raspberry preserves is a classic pairing with jalapeño poppers. If you need a substitute, you can use pepper jelly (peach or apricot varieties work well), or even apricot, peach, or cranberry preserves if you prefer a different flavor profile. The key is to keep that delicious contrast between the sweet preserves and the savory popper base.
This sweet and savory appetizer is best served with sturdy dippers. I recommend a buttery, neutral-flavored, crispy, crunchy cracker with a little salt, like Ritz Crackers, Club Crackers, or water crackers. Lightly salted pita chips or classic tortilla chips are great, too.
Dip Made Without Raspberry Preserves
If you are not a fan of raspberries, simply skip the raspberry preserves and top the dip with the cracker topping, for an awesome jalapeño popper dip.

What a fun idea! I love habanero peach jelly or candied jalapenos with cream cheese and crackers but I never thought to make it a dip like this. Yum!
