Raspberry Cheese Spread

Submitted by Bobbie S.

"Found this in an Appetizer cookbook put out by Taste of Home. The picture caught my eye -- then I read the ingredients and knew I had to try it. It was so, so good. The raspberry preserves are what takes this over the top."

Very tasty recipe! I took this to a potluck, and everyone loved it. I did add a little garlic powder and cayenne to mine, and I toasted the pecans first. I used my food processor to blend this, adding the green onions and pecans last, so they'd get minced but not pureed.

Oh, these ingredients together sounded suspicious to me, but you are right...that raspberry takes it right over the top!! Yum! Next time I will use finely shredded cheese to have a smoother texture. Thanks for sharing!!
