Cranberry & Apricot Dip
You know if swallowing your pride tasted like cream cheese smothered in well, anything – it would not be hard to get along with anyone, that’s my opinion of course.
I like to be right.
My Husband likes to be right.
We are both often right at the same time.
This is where that whole pride thing comes in.
And this is where I choose to move on to cream cheese, wouldn’t you?
Delightfully snagged from ALLRECIPES
INGREDIENTS (Serves a Lion Pride)
• 1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup apricot jam
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees
Combine cranberries with sugar in a 2 quart baking dish with a lid, stirring well to coat all the berries. Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for about 30 minutes, until the cranberries pop and release their liquid.
While all of that is going on, you can chop and measure…
Also, why is that every time I think about whether to PUSH or PULL a door open I always choose wrong?
And why are there always people behind me? Mocking me, I am sure of it!
Remove from oven and stir in the apricot jam and pecans. Refrigerate overnight to blend the flavors. To serve, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature, and pour dip over the block of cream cheese on a serving dish. Serve with buttery Ritz crackers.
Also just need to sneak this in here...I am very sorry to all of the people I infected with my ummm..sickness - May you only remember the mid-holiday free diet I am providing you at no cost! word

This dip (minus the cream cheese) sounds like the filling I'm planning on making for rugelach tomorrow night! Yummy!
That is an interesting dip! Delightful.

This looks like the perfect holiday appetizer!
Generous to a fault!!
Dip looks wonderful.
This looks scrumptious! Glad you're better!
"Swallow your pride occasionally, it's not fattening"...Love it!
Why am I so unfamiliar with sweet dips? I always go savory, but this is a genius idea, and I love the warm fall flavors. Thanks, Jen!
Mmmmm, pass me a cracker, please!?

Love this in lieu of brie. Sounds like a great new dip to try. PS ~ Your photography is rockin'! Love it.
You always crack me up! I always push when I need to pull and pull when I need to push, it never fails!
This dip looks delicious and addictive. I know that I could make a major dent in it all by myself.

A great recipe find! I need to try this! I might try another jam just so it doesnt look like I am copying you, which of course I am copying you.
Dang those men. I know precisely what you mean. Ugh! Its really bad when it keeps rearing its ugly head, like, all weekend. Now if my pride... wait his pride, yes he would definitely eat it with cheese. His words, his pride all of it, with cheese!
