Directions
Roasted Garlic Cranberry Cream Cheese Spread, Lightly sweet and savoury with a delicate but addicting flavor The original recipe called for currants and almonds, but since I didn’t have either, I came up with this winning variation Prep time doesn’t include soaking the cranberries or refrigeration , This cream cheese spread is so amazing YUM, we all enjoyed the combination of hearty roasted garlic with sweet plump cranberries Your soaking tip was really great and this was gone very fast 🙂 I also used it thinned out as a pasta sauce and it was equally great My only change was not to use the salt and pepper THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Picholine Made and reviewed for Think Pink Tag October 2012
