Ingredients
- 1 -- (8-ounce) package low-fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature for an hour
- 2/3 cup California Walnuts
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or California Raisins
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Put cream cheese in a medium bowl. Add walnuts, raisins, syrup and cinnamon. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until ingredients are mixed together.

*To make as a softer dip for apple slices or strawberries, use twice as much maple syrup. To reduce fat and calorie content, use whipped lowfat cream cheese instead of a brick of lowfat cream cheese.
