How to Make Maraschino Dip Or Spread

  1. In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or a whisk.
  2. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of milk while beating until well combined and smooth.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of drained maraschino cherries (reserve 2 tablespoons of the cherry juice), 2 tablespoons of reserved maraschino cherry juice, and 1/4 cup of slivered almonds.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dip to chill. This step is optional but recommended.
  5. Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, fresh fruit (such as strawberries, grapes, or apple slices), or spread generously on bagels or toast.
