Ingredients

1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
½-¾ cup The Grove Fig Preserves
½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Crackers or sliced baguette

Directions

Prepare the Cream Cheese

Place the softened cream cheese on a serving plate or shallow bowl.

Warm the Fig Preserves (Optional)

Gently warm the fig preserves in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes to loosen. This step enhances the flavor and makes it easier to spread.
