This is a great make-ahead recipe that gets better the longer you let it refrigerate. It also makes lots so it is good for a large party. I like to vary the types of dried fruit - substituting craisins for raisins, dried pineapple for apple, etc.
Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped dried apricot
1/2 cup finely chopped dried apple
1/2 cup golden raisin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 -1 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining ingredients except walnuts; blend well. Refrigerate mixture 30 minutes or until easy to handle. Shape into 1 inch balls. Roll in chopped walnuts.
2. Refrigerate until firm.
3. Serve with crackers.
4. Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
