This is a tasty canapé, easy to prepare and one you may well find devoured even by those who think they don’t care for either cranberries or feta cheese.

I first tasted these at a summer time baby shower, prepared in whole wheat tortillas and with chopped sweet onion. The first time I tried the recipe in our kitchen, I switched to the milder flavour of green onions and, when we serve this rather rich treat at December holiday gatherings, I use the green/spinach tortillas to play on the festive colour theme.

This is yet another recipe that you can prepare a day or so before an event; then, shortly before your guests arrive, or before you depart with this appetizer as your contribution to a gathering, all you need do is remove the rolls from the refrigerator, slice the pinwheels and place them on a serving plate.

Ingredients

• light, spreadable cream cheese -1.25 cup /approx. 275 g
• feta cheese – 1 cup / 250 g, crumbled
• “Craisins” (dried cranberries) -3/4 cup / 170 g, chopped
• green onions -1/4 cup / 50 mL finely chopped
• spinach tortillas – four large

Preparation

1. Combine the two cheeses, craisins and green onions in a mixing bowl, stirring well
2. Using one quarter of the mixture per tortilla, spread the mixture on four large tortillas

Refrigerate before serving

1. Roll each tortilla and wrap individual tortillas in plastic
2. Place the four rolls in the refrigerator for at least an hour; I’ve prepared the rolls as early as a couple of days before an event
3. Unwrap each roll and slice in bite-sized portions. Enjoy!
