Dick's Dip

I had to give this a try because I love all the ingredients and they seem unusual to put together. Very tasty but I think I would have liked a bit more horseradish sauce and mustard to even out the sweeter flavors of the preserves. Served with cracked black pepper crackers and enjoyed on New Year's Eve. Thank you sweetie for posting your mom's recipe! Made and reviewed for a pressie in the Autralian/New Zealand Forum's 12 Days of Christmas recipe tag.

This is an interesting recipe and the horseradish sauce is essential. I, too, found it too sweet. Also, the recipe makes way too much for one 8-ounce package of cream cheese. If I make this again, I'll halve the other ingredients and I'll soften the cream cheese before serving.

I made this to take to a pool party yesterday and everyone there loved it (I didn't share the ingredients until after they'd tasted and asked, lol). To be truthful, I saved this just because it sounded like such an odd combination of ingredients that I had to try it, and I'm very glad I did! I used only apricot preserves as I wanted to use a lower sugar variety and there wasn't such a creature in peach. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and found that it makes more than enough for at least two blocks of cream cheese. A very good thing in my book! I'm going to follow the tip of another reviewer and use the rest as a dip for coconut shrimp, fish, fried wontons, egg rolls, etc. Yum! Thanks for posting such an easy, delicious, and versatile recipe, Leslie! I'll be making it a lot.
