Ingredients
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese you can even use goat cheese too!
  • 1/3 Lightly Salted Almonds
  • 4-5 Dried Apricots chopped
  • 2-3 Teaspoons Fresh Basil chopped (you can also use parsley!)
  • 1/4-1/2 Cup Apricot Preserves
  • Beeyond the Hive Honey for drizzling!
  • Serve with your favorite crackers or granny smith apples
Instructions
  1. Remove cream cheese (or goat cheese) from packaging and soften to room temperature.
  2. Spread the apricot preserves on a pretty cheese tray or platter. This will serve as a little “bed” for the cheese mixture.

  3. Next you need to throw your almonds into a baggie and start pounding away! Crush those almonds!

  4. Chop your apricots and mix together along with the basil (or parsley). Add your broken almond pieces and spread the mixture on a cutting board, counter, plate, whatever.
  5. Once your cream cheese is softened I gently roll and form it into a log shape. Then I roll it into the apricot, basil and almond mixture until it’s completely covered! Put your cheese log on top of the apricot preserves and finish it off with a hearty drizzle of honey. That’s it!
