This recipe is inspired by a gift from my dad. When I was 8, our dad was a Produce Manager at a local market. It was the Christmas holiday and the suppliers would bring 'special' items as gifts to the employees. One gift was a wonderful date/nut cream cheese spread. I will never forget it. It wasn't sold in stores so that one package was eaten very slowly with much delight by me! It wasn't until recently, and 50+ years later, that I finally mastered duplicating this pleasure. It is so versatile and can be spread on anything your heart desires. Here, in the photo, I spread it on butter crackers (flash back to being 8!), celery and apples. Use your imagination and enjoy it!
