Curried Carrot Spread image

I have been looking for dips or spreads to serve at residents' little meetings or their get-to-gethers, when they play dominoes, bingo, or sit around and talk in the afternoons. So I saw this and I thought - maybe! I haven't used it as yet but I want to keep it here for safe-keeping. BH&G Magazine, June 2008 edition. Chill 4 hours or up to 3 days.
