A white bowl filled with a dark red, textured layer of fruit jam or preserve covers the bottom, with small bits of green and orange mixed in. On top, scooped onto a large, round pretzel chip held by woman's hand, is a chunky mix of creamy cheese, chopped nuts, and bits of green herbs, showing a rough texture and a mix of off-white, brown, orange, and green colors. The white marbled surface underneath creates a clean, bright background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

6 green onions, chopped (both green & white parts)
2 cups chopped pecans
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise (or enough to hold dip together)
1 jar Hot Pepper Raspberry Preserves

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped green onions, chopped pecans, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2: Spread the mixture evenly into a shallow 9 x 13-inch dish. Carefully spoon the Hot Pepper Raspberry Preserves over the top to cover the dip.
Step 3: Chill the dip in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Tips & Variations

For a milder version, substitute the Hot Pepper Raspberry Preserves with regular raspberry preserves or a sweet chili jam.
To add extra texture, toast the pecans lightly before mixing them in.
If you prefer a creamier dip, increase the amount of mayonnaise slightly to achieve your desired consistency.

Storage

Store the dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, give it a gentle stir if the ingredients have separated slightly. This dip is best enjoyed chilled and should be discarded if left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
