Peach and Pecan Dip

By May 16, 2018 No Comments

Peach and Pecan Dip is perfect for summertime entertaining.

With just a few simple ingredients you can have the most amazing appetizer. It’s as easy as 1-2-3 and can be whipped up in a snap.

This is the dish that I rely on for spur-of –the- moment guests and it often answers, so many times, my “What can I bring?” question.  So this delicious Peach and Pecan Dip has you covered!

All you need is peach preserves, cream cheese, chopped pecans and a box of your favorite crackers. Of course, we Southerners love our Ritz’s!

Here are a few tips and ideas for this dip:

  • To spice it up a little, chopped up a fresh jalapeno pepper and sauté in olive oil. Add the chopped jalapenos to the peach preserves.
  • Serve the dip individually on crackers or on open faced sandwiches for a tea, bridal shower, baby shower, front porch parties etc.
  • Spread on bagels, toast, or biscuits.
  • This is perfect to take on picnics or an outside concert in the park.
  • Substitute other favors of fruit preserves for the peach for something different. Some of my other favorites are strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry.
  • During the summer peach season, dice up 1 peach and add it to the cream cheese mixture. This of course is optional but a great way to enjoy the fresh peach taste!🍑

  • Author:
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8-ounce) jar peach preserves, divided
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, divided
  • 1 Box of your favorite crackers (Ritz’s Crackers are my favorite)
  • Note: If fresh peaches are in season, you can dice up 1 peach to add to the cream cheese mixture. I love to do this during the summer peach season.

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add ½ cup of the peach preserves and 1/2 of the chopped pecans and mix well.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  3. Before serving spoon into a serving bowl. Spoon the remaining or about peach preserves over the peach cream cheese mixture. Top with the remaining chopped pecans. **(I like to ground up about 1/3 cup of the pecans real fine)
  4. Serve with crackers or toasted rounds
