 Categories: Appetisers
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
  1 1/2 c  Whole Almonds; Toasted
      8 oz Cream Cheese; Lowfat-Ok
    1/2 c  Mayonnaise; Lowfat-Ok
      5 sl Bacon; Cooked And Minced
      1 tb Scallion; Chopped
    1/2 ts Dill
           Black Pepper; To Taste
 
  1. Toast the almonds and set aside.
  
  2. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at
  least
        1    hour.
  
  3. Form the cream cheese mixture into the shape of a pinecone.
  Beginning at the bottom,, gently press the almonds in rows across the
  pinecone shape. Continue the rows until the whole shape is covered,
  and resembles a pinecone. Either eat immediately or refrigerate.
  Allow to come up to room temperature before serving. Garnish with
  greens.
  
  NOTES : A marble board works well for this as it will hold the cool
  temperature longer than a plate. If fresh greens are used be careful
  that they are not poisonous.
