FRUIT AND NUT WRAP

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese spread and raisins; spread onto tortilla to within 1/2 inch of edge.
• Sprinkle with nuts.
• Place strawberries down center of tortilla; roll up tightly.

FRUIT AND NUT STUFFING

Steps:

• Place prunes, apricots, raisins, and currants in a medium bowl; pour bourbon over fruit. Cover with plastic wrap, and soak overnight.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over moderate heat; add apples, onions, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and celery is tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; add nuts. Toast them, stirring constantly, until golden.
• Transfer sauteed onion mixture to a large bowl. Add brioche and broth; mix until incorporated. Add macerated fruit, toasted nuts, cranberries, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, parsley, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Using 2 large spoons or your hands, gently mix stuffing until evenly blended. Set aside while turkey is prepared for roasting.

FRUIT 'N' NUT SPREAD

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, lemon juice and allspice; cover and process until smooth. Stir in fruit and nuts.

FRUIT WRAPS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine fruit and sugar over low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Raise heat to medium-low; bring mixture just to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and fruit is very soft, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper; set aside. Using an immersion blender, or food processor fitted with the steel blade, puree until very smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.
• Spread strained fruit mixture evenly over prepared baking sheet. Bake until dry, but still tacky, about 2 hours. Cool completely.
• Cover surface of fruit with parchment paper. Invert onto cutting board; parchment side down. Peel off Silpat. With the pizza wheel, cut fruit in half lengthwise and again in half crosswise, forming four equal rectangles. Cut through parchment with a knife to separate. Roll each rectangle up tightly in parchment paper beginning with the short side of the fruit that does not have extra parchment paper. This will allow you to peel the fruit from the parchment paper. Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
