My popular pinwheels wow guests at holiday parties I attend. People like the smokiness of the ham and the sweet surprise of the cherries. I appreciate the make-ahead convenience.

I make this recipe everytime there's a party and they're all eaten and people rave about them and wonder what all the flavors are. Make these and you'll be the hit of the party!

I liked these pinwheels but the rest of my party disagreed with me on this recipe so try a test run if you have picky guests.

When I first looked at the recipe I was a little skeptical but it was a contest winning recipe and the reviews were good. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! I didn't have cherries so I used craisins as someone else here suggested. This is a keeper for sure!

I want to say upfront that I made this for a baby shower today and other people really enjoyed these. I however did not like them at all. The only thing I changed was I used sun dried tomato tortillas. It could have been I just didn't like the taste of those.

I made this without the dried cherries, because that was not appealing to us. We dipped them in Ken's Honey Mustard Lite Dressing. My kids want them in their lunch bags tomorrow! The cream cheese spread was a great combination! I'll be making this again and again.

I made this for a party last year and there were none left. Everyone walked out with the recipe. Wouldn't change a thing. Thanks

I love these. I didn't have dried cherries, so I used Craisins instead. Delish!

I made these pinwheels at a cook-out and it was a big hit. I brought so much of the ingredients that I made at least 4 times amount and it was all gone by the time everyone left to go home. It was so easy and it taste great.

I added 5-6 T finely chopped eroupean cucumber to the onion...made it even more delish!
