PECAN CRANBERRY SPREAD



Pecan Cranberry Spread image

I find any excuse possible to serve this. Great around the holidays but worthy of being made all year round. It is the dish I am most often asked to bring to a gathering requiring finger foods or appetizers. Really good on Townhouse Wheat Crackers. If I don't have any orange juice concentrate, I use just enough fresh squeezed juice to make it the right consistency and the zest from the orange for more flavor. *PLEASE NOTE!!* You REALLY need to make this ahead of time! The flavors must blend for it to taste good!

GINGER-CRANBERRY CHUTNEY SPREAD

I usually serve it with cream cheese and crackers, but it's wonderful with turkey slices and pork chops, too."
