this recipe needs to chill at least 4 hours and then stand for about an hour to come to a spreadable texture..I didn't feel this recipe had enough cream cheese in it so I added more when I made mine..this is the orginal recipe. Read more .... from Better Homes and Gardens Ingredients:
1/2 cup snipped dried apricots |
8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese (2 cups) |
1/2 of an 8-ounce package cream cheese |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
1/3 cup golden raisins, chopped |
1/4 cup pitted whole dates, snipped |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
chopped toasted almonds (optional) |
assorted crackers and/or apple slices |
Directions:
1. 1. In a small bowl soak apricots in 1 cup hot water for 1 hour or until softened. Drain well; set aside. Meanwhile, place Monterey Jack cheese and cream cheese in a medium bowl and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
