"Tried this recipe without seeing the show. Should have read the reviews first (usually do! The texture was not acceptabe. The flavor was promising. I threw it out and made it over with cream cheese. I added two 8oz pkgs of cream cheese, salt, pepper, mint and 3 Tbs. olive oil to the blender. Shaped the cheese mixture in my serving dish. Browned the nuts and coated with warm honey. Covered the cheese mound with nuts. VERY tasty. This combination is not familiar to me. Neither of my Italian grandmothers made anything like it, but I believe it will be a nice addition to my Christmas Eve Antipasto Platter. Sorry Mr. Florence. You are one of my favorites still!
