Hold onto your hats, friends... two posts in three days!
I know, I can hardly contain myself either.
Being it is THAT time of year, I have 4 events in the next 4 days which require me to contribute a dish of some sort... have I mentioned I am NOT a cook? Have I mentioned I was smart enough to marry a man who can whip up a gourmet dish from half a jar of peanut butter and an onion? Ok, perhaps that is a bit of an exaggeration, but he does possess some pretty remarkable culinary skills for which I am eternally grateful. But it is a busy time, and I think I am on my own this week in the "bring a dish to share" department.
Book Club last week was hosted by my beautiful and gracious neighbor, Sherry... she gifted us all a tart pan along with a recipe for the YUMILICOUS appetizer she served (along with some YUMILICOUS cocktails).
Seriously, Book Club with adult beverages, fattening food, AND gifts? Makes it worth reading a few less than remarkable books.
So, we start with the tart pan...
I must say, there is something really cute about a tart pan.

And here is the recipe... which was included with the pan and all wrapped up with a lovely bow!
Even I, with my limited chef skills, ought to be able to pull this one off... to the store I go to load up on cheese and raspberry preserves. Do you think it REALLY matters if I shred my own cheese?
Post Script... if you can find the pre-shredded Velveeta I would highly recommend it for this recipe. I tried to shred my own, and it's a bit like trying to shred cream cheese. GOOD TIMES... not. Also, this can be done directly in a shallow pie plate or tart dish allowing you to skip the Pam and flipping onto a plate part of the recipe... a very good idea for a kitchen klutz such as myself.

Great recipe - thank you!
thanks for sharing! i love raspberry!
i may be a "cheese snob" but there is a difference in the taste and texture of pre-shredded cheese and block cheese that you shred. It seems to melt differently too....& I think they dust the preshred stuff with something so it doesn't stick together too....just my own observations :)
I'm not much of a cook either, but I think I could manage this! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the recipe! I haven't used my tart pan in years. Thinking maybe I should get it out.
What a cute little gift idea. Have to try this one out.
Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing.
