Paying it Forward Recipe - Cream Cheese Fruit Dip

Paying it Forward Recipe - Cream Cheese Fruit Dip

Last year, Roy Kelley wrote a post about McCutcheon's, a local family business in MD that offers delightful preserves, jellies and sauces that he and Dolores enjoy. I checked out their site and found a recipe that I just had to try - no, not this one. So, I bought fig preserves (and several other jellies and sauces to try as well) and when the shipment arrived, I whipped up the Fig Preserves & Goat Cheese Panini  recipe that I was dying to try. It was perfection!

 

This week, I was looking for something to serve with a fruit platter so, I put together my own recipe and used the fig preserves in a cream cheese fruit dip. I made it for the first party and it was gone - second party, same thing (it disappeared!) and wound up making it a third time for party #3 this week. 

 

 

I use Neufchâtel cheese instead of cream cheese (it's gluten-free and non-GMO) and obviously, the masses approved! 

 

CREAM CHEESE FRUIT DIP

• 8 oz cream (or Neufchâtel) cheese, softened
• 7 oz marshmallow cream
• 1-1/2 Tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1 Tbsp grated orange peel
• ½ - 3/4 Cup McCutcheon’s Fig Preserves

EASY-PEASY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Beat cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth.
2. Add remaining ingredients and continue mixing.
3. Refrigerate for about an hour or until ready to serve. (Will keep for days in the refrigerator)
4. Serve with fresh fruit, graham crackers or kettlecorn chips.

Thank you, Roy, for introducing us to McCutcheon's - every jar of jelly, preserves and sauces we've tried, have been absolutely delicious!
