Orange Cranberry Spread Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, orange juice concentrate, sugar, zest and cinnamon until blended. Fold in cranberries and pecans. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Plop cranberry sauce into bowl. Smush with fork until smooth.
• Mix in 1 to 2 Tbs dried, ground orange peel. Note* --to make your own ground orange peel....take the peels from mandarin oranges (or "cuties", tangerines). I use these because they don't have much white "pith" on them. Let dry on cookie sheet for 5 - 7 days or so until they are COMPLETELY dried out. Grind in coffee grinder (a food processed just doesn't seem to do it). Store in jar with air-tight lid.
• Spread on toast, bagels, English muffins, biscuits, scones...any breakfast bread.
• Stores in covered container in refrigerator for a week or so.

Steps:

• 1. Simply mix together and chill for several hours for flavors to blend. What could be easier? =)

Steps:

• 6. Roll up the parchment paper to help shape the log.
• 7. Cut off the excess parchment paper and place butter in a resealable bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• 8. Unroll the butter log. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on the parchment.
• 9. Roll the log in the chopped pecans.

• 11. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:
