How to Make Peach and Pecan Dip

1. In a small food processor or mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese until smooth.

3. Fold in the chopped, lightly toasted pecans (toasting brings out the flavor, but it’s optional).

Serve chilled or at room temperature with Ritz crackers (a classic!) or toasted bread rounds.

Tips for the Best Peach and Pecan Dip

• 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.
• Quality cream cheese: Philadelphia is my go-to for creamy, tangy flavor.
• Make ahead: You can make this dip a day in advance, just cover and refrigerate. Add the garnish right before serving for the prettiest look.
• Double the recipe: It goes fast at parties, so make a backup batch!

This dip is perfect for:

• Tailgates and football parties

• Last-minute guests, it comes together in minutes!

Serve it with your favorite crackers, toasted baguette slices, or even as a spread for small open-faced sandwiches.

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!🍑
