1 ¼ c. whole natural almonds

1 8 oz. pkg cream cheese

½ c. mayo

5 crisply cooked bacon slices crumbled

1 T. chopped green onions

½ t. dill weed

1/8 t. pepper

Spread almonds in a single layer in a shallow pan. Bake 300, 15 min.

stirring often, until almonds just begin to turn color.

Combine softened cream cheese and mayo, mix well. Add bacon, onion,

dill and pepper, mix well. Cover; chill overnight. Form cheese mixture

into shapes of two pinecones on serving platter. Beginning at narrow end,

press almonds at slight angle into cheese mixture in rows. Continue

overlapping rows until all cheese is covered. Garnish with artificial pine

springs (or real ones). Serve with crackers.
