Not only is this appetizer from Gloria Rohlfing of York, Pennsylvania a treat to eat, it shapes up into lots of fun, too. How so? Just by forming the soft cream cheese into a cane and spooning stripes of ruby-red cranberry concoction over the top of it. In no time you'll create a treat that looks as good as it tastes!Gloria Rohlfing, York, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup dried currants |
1/3 cup water |
1/8 teaspoon each ground allspice, cardamom, cloves and ginger |
1/8 teaspoon ground mustard |
1-1/2 pounds cream cheese or brie |
Directions:
1. Combine the cranberries, sugar, currants, water and spices in a non-aluminum saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes or until most of the berries have popped. Cool, then refrigerate.
2. If using cream cheese, shape into a candy cane if desired. Spoon cranberry mixture over cheese. Serve with crackers or sliced apples. Yield: 12-16 servings.
