How to Make Berry Blue Cheese Spread

  1. If using dried blueberries: Combine 1 cup dried blueberries with 1 cup boiling water in a bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. If using frozen blueberries: Thaw 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries completely. Gently drain off any excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese and 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese until nearly smooth. (Use an electric mixer for best results)
  4. Gently stir in the prepared blueberries, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle generously with ½ cup chopped pecans. Serve with your favorite crackers or crostini.
