  • 4 tsps. lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp. Spice Island® Ground Saigon Cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp. salt
  • 6 whole cloves or ¼ tsp. Spice Island® Ground Cloves

NUT FILLING

  • ½ C. sliced, blanched almonds
  • ¼ C. walnut halves or pieces
  • 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp. Spice Island® Ground Saigon Cinnamon

  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, cut into ½-inch pieces, cold
  • ¼ C. unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces, cold

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° Generously spray 8 (2 ¾ x 1 ¼ – inch) nonstick muffin cups with a non-stick cooking spray like Baker’s Joy®.
  2. In 1-quart saucepan, mix syrup ingredients; heat to boiling. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.  Discard whole cloves.
  3. Meanwhile, in food processor bowl with metal blade, place nut filling ingredients. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses until finely chopped.  Set aside.
