Apparently, I thought this spread was better than my guests did. No compliments and no second helpings. It was not as tasty as I thought it would be.

Added the juice of an orage to this as well - everyone loved it. It kept for days, just getting better and better!

The first time I made per recipe. Now I add 1/4 c. blue cheese crumbles and roll cheeseball in toasted English walnuts. We like it both ways.

Made this yesterday, served it today and it was a HUGE hit! It has just the perfect contrast of sweet and savory. DELICIOUS! (We had to portion out what little was leftover to that we could all take some home.)
