Ingredients
1/2 cup golden or dark raisins
Boiling water
1/2 cup walnut pieces
A pinch of salt
8 ounces low fat or regular cream cheese or peanut butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Place the raisins in a bowl and pour enough boiling water over them to just cover them. Let them sit and plump up while you toast the nuts. Place a small, dry skillet over medium heat; add the walnuts and toast, shaking the pan frequently, until they are golden. Drain all of the water from the raisins, return the raisins to the bowl and add the toasted walnuts, a pinch of salt and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly with cream cheese or peanut butter.
