Recipe #36 - Cream Cheese Dip with Cranberries and Walnuts

| Saturday, February 28, 2009
Maybe it's time to get a dip thingy that is not Christmas related, but you will have to live with it for now.

This was pretty damn good, although it ages very badly.  It's a simple recipe with cream cheese, blue cheese, cranberries, walnuts and yogurt.  You can adjust the content of the ingredients to make it thicker or thinner, but I left it fairly thick.  The taste was very good.  I served it with crackers and got lots of good reviews.

BUT, this takes a massive dive downhill after a day or two.  The blue cheese goes from mild in the first serving to extremely overpowering after a day or two.  I would not make this recipe too far in advance, although the morning of should be totally fine.  Otherwise, it was really good, but I think that if you're the type of person who hates blue cheese, even the mild taste on the first day might be too much.

Modifications: Could try with other fruits and nuts

Make again?: Yes, within the appropriate time period of the event.
