Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1/2 c Currants
1/3 c Brandy
3 Heads roasted garlic
1 lb Cream cheese

This rich cream cheese spread takes on a sweet tone from the addition
of roasted garlic and currants. Spread onto crackers or bread for a
simple hors d'oeuvre, or serve with raw vegetable pieces.

In a medium bowl, macerate (soften by soaking) the currants in the
brandy for 30 minutes. Drain well and return to the bowl. Squeeze the
roasted garlic pulp from the heads into a bowl, taking care to remvoe
any bits of skin from the pulp. Add the roasted garlic to the
currants, along with the cream cheese and almonds. using an electric
mixer, beat on low speed until all ingredients are thoroughl
combined. Season with salt and pepe. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours
before serving. Can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
