60 minThis elegant appetizer spread comes together in a food processor by blending softened cream cheese with apricot jam until smooth.
Golden raisins get pulsed in just until combined, creating pockets of chewy sweetness throughout.
Transfer to a pretty bowl, chill for an hour to let flavors meld, then garnish with walnut halves before serving with crackers.
Kitchen Tips
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature for the smoothest blending
- Pulse the raisins in with quick bursts to avoid over-processing
- Try this spread on toasted bagels, graham crackers, or apple slices
Ingredients
Directions
In a food processor blend together the cream cheese and the jam until the mixture is smooth; add the raisins and pulse the motor until the mixture is just combined. Transfer the spread to a ramekin or small decorative bowl and chill it for 1 hour. Garnish the spread with the walnut halves and serve it with crackers. Makes about 1½ cups.
