Apricot Party Dip Recipes

APRICOT PARTY DIP

Steps:

• Spread cream cheese in the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish.
• Mix soy sauce (to taste) and apricot preserves. Spread over cream cheese.
• Evenly sprinkle toasted, chopped pecans over the apricot mixture.
• Top with crumbled bacon.
• Warm in oven or microwave before serving.
• (Note: I like halving the amounts and making 8 layers instead of 4. If you make it in a clear dish, it's very attractive.).

• Remove from oven and stir in the apricot jam and pecans. Refrigerate overnight to blend the flavors. To serve, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature, and pour dip over the block of cream cheese on a serving dish. Serve with buttery round crackers or small pretzels.
