from All Recipes

Ingredients

5 Slices of Bacon (cooked & crumbled)

1.5 cups of whole almonds (toasted)

8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)

1/2 cup of mayonnaise

1 Tablespoon chopped green onion

1/2 Teaspoon dried dill

Pinch of fresh ground black pepper

Several Fresh Rosemary Sprigs

Crackers of your choice

Directions

1. Fry Bacon ~ Drain, crumble, and set aside.
2. Toast Almonds ~ Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees Celsius). Arrange almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, watching carefully and stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
3. In a bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, dill weed, and black pepper until well blended. Form mixture into a pinecone shape, and carefully place on a serving dish.
4. Beginning at the top of the "pinecone" with the points facing upward, press cooled almonds gently into cheese, each point slightly overlapping the bottom of the almond above.
5. Garnish with Fresh Rosemary Sprigs.
6. Serve with your favorite crackers.
