Spreading Christmas cheer is deliciously simple with this holiday novelty. Originally my mother's recipe, it always gets raves. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion |
1/2 teaspoon dill weed |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1-1/4 cups whole unblanched almonds, toasted |
fresh rosemary sprigs, optional |
assorted crackers or raw vegetables |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, bacon, onion, dill and pepper; chill. Form into two pinecone shapes on a serving platter. Beginning at the narrow end of each shape, arrange almonds in overlapping rows. Garnish with rosemary if desired. Serve with crackers or vegetables. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
