4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons apple jelly
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

2 heads Belgian endive
¼ cup pecan pieces, toasted and finely chopped
Instructions
1. Combine cream cheese and apple jelly in a medium bowl. Using a mixer, beat until smooth. Fold in blue cheese and cranberries.

Tips from the Test Kitchen
Tips From Our Test Kitchen: Don’t confuse the leafy green variety of endive with Belgian endive. Belgian endive resembles a pointed, closed tulip, is creamy in color, and has large leaves. Goat cheese may be substituted for the blue cheese.
