Ingredients
1 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese
2 ounces prosciutto, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup finely chopped dried apricots and/or figs
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
Fresh herb sprigs (optional)
Blood orange, kumquat, or orange wedges (optional)

Directions
1. Combine mascarpone cheese, prosciutto, apricots and/or figs, and nuts in a medium mixing bowl. Line a small bowl (1-1/2-cups capacity) or crock with plastic wrap. Pack cheese mixture into the lined container. Cover and chill for 2 to 4 hours.

Spread cream cheese over pate. Allow to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with herbs and blood orange, kumquat, or orange wedges, if desired. Serve with fresh fruit and crackers.
