Saturday Share Recipe - Marmalade Cheese Spread

Today's recipe is something you probably won't find in contemporary recipe books.

It's Marmalade Cheese Spread, and the recipe is from the manual that came with my Mom's first blender bought many, many years ago.

The blender is long since dead, but the recipes in the manual live on. I hope you'll enjoy this "blast from the past" recipe.

For those who think they don't like marmalade, this will change your mind. It's easy to make, and you can substitute Apricot Preserves for the marmalade if you simply refuse to try marmalade.

Serve this spread on toasted bread. I like it on the multigrain bread I make each week. With a cup of coffee, this is often my quick breakfast.

It's also good at tea time in the afternoon with a cup of Earl Grey. If you try this, leave a comment and tell me how you liked it.
