Raspberry Dip

Prepare the Savory Base:

Start by finely chopping the green onions and pecans. These ingredients add a fresh, crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the creamy cheese base.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the grated sharp cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, chopped pecans, and green onions. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well integrated. The cheddar cheese provides a sharp, tangy flavor, while the mayonnaise adds a rich, creamy texture that binds everything together.
Seasoning:

Season the mixture with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. The amount of seasoning can be adjusted to taste, but it’s important not to overpower the delicate balance of flavors.
Assemble the Dip:

Spread the cheese mixture evenly into a 9x9-inch baking dish or a 9-inch pie pan. Ensure that the mixture is smooth and level, providing a solid base for the raspberry layer.
Once the base is prepared, take your raspberry preserves and gently spread them over the top in an even layer. The preserves should cover the entire surface of the cheese mixture, adding a beautiful, glossy finish.
Chill and Serve:

Place the assembled dip in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least one hour. This step is crucial as it helps the flavors meld together, and it also makes the dip easier to scoop when served.
After chilling, the dip is ready to serve. Accompany it with round butter crackers, which pair perfectly with the sweet and savory flavors of the dip.
