Baked Apricot Spread
(serves 8)
(preheat oven to 350 degrees)
4 oz. Cream Cheese~softened
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
1/4 cup Sour Cream
1/4 cup sliced, dried Apricots
1/3 cup Sliced Almonds
Crackers
The recipe called for sliced Dried Apricots.
I used the dried Apricots~YUM!, but I chopped them instead
of slicing them. I thought they might be easier for guests to handle
if they were smaller. I don't know?? It's just my paranoia coming
out like it does every time I entertain.
Anyway, I chopped them by slicing them first, and then...
turning the slices around, and chopping them up.
Set them aside for a minute.
Put the softened cream cheese, and the cheddar into a bowl.
Mix it up really well.
I like to do this by wearing food safe gloves, and using my hands.
It really gets things mixed perfectly, but a mixer will do the job also!
Add the sour cream and apricots.
Mix again like above.
Place mix in a baking dish.
Top with the sliced almonds.
The recipe called for 1/3 cup. I just put them on the
top of the dish until I thought there were enough.
I did not make them thick, and I tried to
cover the entire surface.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Serve with crackers of your choice.
Delicious!
This recipe is great tasting, hot or cold!
