PICKLE WRAPS



Rob and Sarah Wilson


PICKLE WRAPS

From Sarah Wilson

Rob is Ada Parks' son and Elbern and Marie Myers' grandson.  Sarah's Pickle Wraps are the hit of any family gatherings.

1 pkg. neufchatel cheese (the lower-fat cream cheese)
1 pkg. Buddig beef slices
1 jar dill pickle spears (I try to look for some that aren't too big around or I end up cutting them in half.)

Set toothpicks out ready to grab easily w/messy fingers during wrapping process.

Warm cream cheese until soft and spreadable.  (May repeat as needed if it firms up while working).  Drain pickles and pat dry with a paper towel.  Set aside.  On a cutting board, place 1 slice of beef.  Spread on a thin layer of cheese.  Place one pickle about 2/3 of the way down the slice.  Flip the bottom of the slice up over the pickle and roll it the rest of the way.

Secure roll with toothpicks (I generally use 5 - place one in the middle then 2 on either side), then cut between each toothpick with a sharp knife.

Note: It's messy but yummy.  I often trim off the pointy ends if they look funny.
