Recipe: Ham Glaze over Cream Cheese

Friday brought back a flood of memories for me.  I remember when I would put Dr. Pete's Prailine Mustard Glaze over cream cheese and everyone thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.  From there I branched out to other products over cream cheese.  It boggled my  mind it was a hit. Then I began to get a following.  Next thing you knew Tom hired me, I had two sample tables set-up, and the party goes on!

When I was shopping in the store Thursday, what do I see on the meat counter, but Stonewall Kitchen's Classic Ham Glaze.  With Easter a week away, I figured I'd sample this over cream.  BUT WAIT!  I couldn't just do cream cheese.  I slept on it and decided to prepare the following - 


Ham Glaze over Cream Cheese
1 jar Stonewall Kitchen Classic Ham Glaze
2 (8 oz.) blocks TFM Cream Cheese
1 small can Dole Crushed Pineapple, drained
1/3 c. fancy pecan pieces
1 box Stonewall Kitchen Sea Salt crackers

Place cream cheese on serving plate,  Top with pineapple.  Drizzle with 1/3 jar (or to taste) ham glaze. Garnish with pecan pieces.  Serve.

As I always hope, this recipe was a success.  What can I say?  And NO, Tom has not given me hours.  I was just feeling nostalgic and miss preparing food.

Martins - Customer Appreciation, Wine Tasting - March 12th

I  will not be at TFM as my distributor has me pouring at Martins' Customer Appreciation event.   Thought you  might be interested in it.  Food and wine sampling.  This event is free.  All wines are 20% off a 6 bottle purchase.  

Although I'm not positive, if it's anything like the Kroger's Customer Appreciation events, you check in at Table 1, at the main entrance (you show your ID) and you will be given a wrist band and wine glass. (Yes, a glass! But still 1 oz. pours.)  Plus, there should be food samples at each table.   No matter what, who doesn't enjoy food and wine?
