I find any excuse possible to serve this. Great around the holidays but worthy of being made all year round. It is the dish I am most often asked to bring to a gathering requiring finger foods or appetizers. Really good on Townhouse Wheat Crackers. PLEASE NOTE!! You REALLY need to make this ahead of time! The flavors must blend for it to taste good!

2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate

Directions

1
Using an electric mixer, beat at medium speed and cream the cream cheese until soft and fluffy.
2
Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
3
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, at the very least 60 minutes.
4
Serve cold with crackers.

This is awesome! A wonderful dish to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas as an appetizer, or to bring to a party. My husband doesn't even particularly like cranberries, but loved this dip. I served it with a Bistro Multi-grain crackers. Thanks so much!!

For my retirement party I prepared and served 5 appetizers from Recipezaar. While they were all outstanding, this was the star of the show. It is important to prepare and chill ahead of time but do serve it at room temperature. We served it with whole wheat crackers and it was delicious but may try pretzel crackers next time. A keeper for sure.

I took this to a party and it did not get eaten, I got it put together about 90 minutes before leaving. I've been enjoying it for a snack at work this week with wheat crackers. Repeating what others have already said, this one really needs to sit overnight. I used less than 1/4 cup of orange juice and zest, not having concentrate, which may have been a factor in it needing more time.
