Ingredients
  

  • 1 8oz container dairy free cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup apricot jam
  • 1 handful dried apricots
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • crackers for serving

Instructions
 

Warm the Jam

  • The jam will be too thick to spread straight from the jar, so I like to warm it up slightly.
    To do this, simply spoon the jam into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 20-25 seconds. Stir well and set aside to cool down.

Assemble

  • Run a butter knife around the inside rim of the cream cheese container to loosen it. Then turn the container over onto your serving platter.
    Gently squeeze the sides and pull upward to remove the container. Smooth the edges with a knife if needed.
    Tip: This is easy to do when the cream cheese has been resting on thecounter for about 20 minutes so it's not super cold.
  • When the jam has cooled slightly, spoon it on top of the cream cheese and top with dried apricots and a few sprigs of rosemary.
    Serve at room temperate with crackers and extra dried apriots and jam on the side.
    Tip: Add extra rosemary to the platter for a festive pop of a color and an irresistible aroma that will draw all of your guests ot the buffet table!
