Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Spread
Mix equal parts of peanut butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. For a sweeter spread, add a little honey to the mixture. The spread will last a week or more in the refrigerator.
Apricot Butter
Boil two cups of dried apricots with two tablespoons of sugar and 2/3 cup water until soft. Put in a blender and puree with four tablespoons of butter. Add one teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
Whipped Honey Butter
Use an electric mixer or blender to whip 1/2 cup butter with 2/3 cup honey. If the mixture is too stiff to aerate, add a bit of milk. Season with ground cinnamon if desired.
