Requested every Thanksgiving! I first made this a couple of years ago for our pre-Thanksgiving meal snack tray and everyone raved about it! Since then it has been a regular holiday staple at our house. Takes only minutes to make but the sherry vinegar and smoked paprika give it a nice complex flavor. Never any leftovers with this one! Pros: Easy and quick to make Read More

Not what I thought it would be... I really was disappointed in this one. As promised it was quick and easy - but the end result was not as great as its parts (all of which I love!). The cream cheese seemed to mute all the flavor of everything else and the spread was terribly bland - not bad per se just flavorless. Can't see making this recipe again but if I did I think I'd add Worcestershire sauce hot sauce or perhaps garlic to it to improve the lackluster taste. Pros: Quick No-Cook Cons: Bland Read More

Great dip! I tasted this spread in the Test Kitchen and instantly knew I'd have to bring it to an upcoming family gathering. After the party I found my serving bowl nearly scraped clean! It was a huge hit! Pros: simple delicious something different! Read More

If you love BLAND you'll love this flavorless concoction I added a small diced onion couple cloves of garlic worcesterchire double the spices... nothing improves this or even adds much flavor. What's wrong with this recipe? I don't know but I won't be spending any more time thinking about it. Sorry for the negative review but honestly I won't be making it again. What a waste of good ham. Pros: It is very spreadable Cons: Can't tase the ham the red pepper the cheese... it all blend together in a flavorless mass. Read More
