This is my very favorite, and perfect for this time of year! I like to spread it on slices of turkey breast for roll-ups.
Dottie's Cranberry Cream Cheese Spread
http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/l...eam-cheese.html
8 ounces whipped cream cheese
1/2 cup cranberries
2 tablespoons splenda Granular Sweetener, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel or lemon peel
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons water
Let cream cheese sit at room temo for 15 minutes while you prepare the cranberry mixture.
In a small saucepan, place the cranberries, splenda, orange or lemon peel, nutmeg and water. Bring to a simmer until the cranberries pop. Add more water by the tablespoon if needed to keep the mixture wet, but not swimming in liquid. Turn off heat and let cool to room temp. Mash further if you want the consistancy smoother.
Once cooled, fold into cream cheese then refrigerate at least 1 hour before using as a spread, to allow flavors to blend. Spread on sliced turkey breast for a taste of Thanksgiving!
