Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 6 green onions, chopped (both green and 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 (approximately 12 oz)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the chopped green onions, chopped pecans, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together like a thick dip.
  2. Assemble the Dip: Spread the prepared dip evenly into a shallow 9 x 13-inch dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
  3. Add the Topping: Generously spoon the Hot Pepper Raspberry Preserves over the top of the spread dip, distributing it evenly.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the dip until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly, about 1 hour.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, finely chop pecans or lightly pulse in a food processor.
  • Adjust the mayonnaise quantity to achieve your preferred dip consistency.
  • Serve chilled with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables.
  • To make ahead, assemble the dip without the preserves and top just before serving.
