How to make memorable holiday Appetizers

I'm pretty sure these came from Southern Living ~ just not sure when!!

Ham & Cranberry Cream Cheese Sandwiches (Actually, we don't eat pork so I use turkey instead - yummmm!)

1/2 c cream cheese (use the tub of cream cheese versus the block of cream cheese!)
1/2 c whole berry cranberry sauce
28 slices cinnamon swirl bread, crusts removed
28 very thin slices smoked ham (or turkey) about 1 1/4 lbs

Combine cream cheese and cranberry sauce, mixing well.  Spread a heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each bread slice.  Top half of the bread pieces with two slices of the meat.  Place remaining bread, cream cheese side down, onto meat.  Cut each sandwich into four trianles using a sharp knife. 
Makes 56 appetizers
