Toast the pecans: Place them on a baking sheet at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, just until fragrant.
Use premium preserves: A good jar of peach preserves makes all the difference in flavor.

Here are a few variations 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.
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!🍑
