HONEY WALNUT CREAM CHEESE



Honey Walnut Cream Cheese image

We came up with this recipe after trying Trader Joe's® honey walnut cream cheese; this was much better since we used the orange blossom honey my mom buys from local farmers' market. She suggest toasting the walnuts. To make a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of granulated sugar while pulsing in the processor. Spread a layer on a slice of your favorite bread and enjoy! Yum!

HONEY WALNUT CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

This is really similar to the spread at panera/St. Louis Bread Company. I eat this on bagels, toast, english muffins, waffles. I store it in a plastic rubbermaid type container. I don't measure per se, just kind of judge by taste.

Time 11m

Yield 12 appetizers, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups walnuts
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup dried pears, cut in 1/4-inch dice
2 teaspoons herbes de provence (or mixed Italian herbs)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons orange zest, finely grated
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
16 ounces French bread, slice loaf diagonally in 1/2 inch slices
4 ounces goat cheese (plain, without herbs)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler of your oven.
  • Coarsely chop 1 cup of the walnuts; chop the remaining cup of nuts finely. Place all the nuts in a large bowl and add the honey, dried pears, herbes de Provence, coriander, orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice and salt. Beat vigorously until completely mixed; set aside.
  • Place baguette slices on a baking sheet. Cut the goat cheese into pieces; divide and place on top of the baguette slices. Using a knife, spread cheese uniformly on each baguette slice. Broil until cheese is just melted. (Broil about 4 inches from heat, just to warm the bread and soften the cheese -- watch closely as this only takes a moment or two).
  • Top each baguette slice with a spoonful of Honey Walnut Spread and serve immediately.

FIG AND HONEY JAM WITH WALNUTS



Fig and Honey Jam with Walnuts image

I recently made a meat and cheese board for my family and wanted to make a jam/preserve with it that we normally wouldn't have. Figs came to mind and, after searching around a little and getting a few ideas, I came up with this. It was such a huge hit that I decided to share it. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as we did! It will last for up to 30 days if you do not can it.

1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup chopped walnuts

Tips:

  • Use fresh walnuts. Fresh walnuts have a more pronounced flavor and a better texture than walnuts that have been sitting around for a while. If you can, buy walnuts in the shell and crack them yourself just before using them.
  • Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, or you can spread them on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality honey. The honey you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your spread. Look for a honey that is thick and flavorful. Avoid using processed honey or honey that has been diluted with water.
  • Add a little salt. A little salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the honey and walnuts. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Be patient. It takes time for the flavors in honey walnut spread to meld together. Let the spread sit for at least 24 hours before eating it.

Conclusion:

Honey walnut spread is a delicious and versatile spread that can be used on a variety of foods. It is perfect for spreading on toast, crackers, or fruit. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken or fish, or as a filling for pastries. With its sweet and nutty flavor, honey walnut spread is sure to please everyone at your table.
