For best results, allow the cream cheese to soften completely before mixing. Feel free to customize the dried fruit and nuts to your preference. Cranberries, apricots, walnuts, or almonds would all be delicious additions. Serve with an assortment of crackers, baguette slices, or even apple wedges for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. To easily chop the dried fruit, try pulsing them in a food processor. The cheese ball can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just be sure to wrap it well and store it in the refrigerator.
