This is a lovely appetizer that is always well-recieved by guests. I like to make it at least an hour ahead of time and refrigerate until serving. I have had many requests for this recipe, and nobody can believe how simple it is, as it looks so elegant when served. I serve with "Wheat Thins" crackers.
