Cranberry Delight Spread

From Freddie Griffith

8 oz pkg softened cream cheese
2 T orange juice
1/8 t cinnamon
1 T sugar
1 zest of orange
¼ c finely chopped pecans (opt)
¼ c finely chopped craisins
crackers

With an electric mixer, BLEND cream cheese, juice, cinnamon, sugar on medium speed until smooth.
FOLD in orange zest, pecans, cranberries.
REFRIGERATE – garnish with a zest of orange.
SERVE with crackers.
NOTE: I like to use a blood orange because then the dip gets a festive pinkish color.
