Blue Cheese, Port, and Walnut Spread

Very tasty, adults love it. Great with red wine. I added a little of cream cheese to reduce the strong taste from the blue cheese.

Tastes pretty much just like plain blue cheese. For this to really work I had to add 1 part cream cheese to 1 part dip.

This one is definately for blue cheese lovers! Great recipe for large parties.

I loved the taste of the blue cheese and porte, but the blue cheese was very strong. I added a little cream cheese and extra porte. I would also make half of this recipe next time.

I added 4 oz cream cheese to tone down the blue cheese. My guests loved it. It makes lots of spread. I froze half of it in smalled containers to use later when I need a quick appetizer. It tasted great but was a strong flavor.

WOW! This is a great appetizer, but watch out for the port! If you let this sit too long it will self-ferment and become alcohol in solid form!

I love Blue Cheese but this was way too strong. I had to add cream cheese to it to tone it down. Also, this recipe is WAY too much for a normal party. A pound of blue cheese (this rich!) could feed one person for weeks. I would half the recipe if making it again.

I made this for an office party and the staff set it aside so they could have it the following week! Great taste and it does last forever in the fridge. Very stiff spread, but yummy. I used less blue cheese and sliced pecans b'cuz they were all I had.

I do Love Blue cheese but I thought this is really boring. Might as well just have blue cheese and crackers.

Fabulous recipe, fabulous taste!

I made the recipe this evening and it is absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to serve it to my guest. YUM!

Rich and tasty. I used black walnuts.

I am a huge fan of blue cheese and was looking forward to making this to take to a Thanksgiving gathering this year (2005). It bombed. This is almost completely overpowering and of the 90 % European guests present only about 2 people barely touched it. It is in my refridge and is about to get tossed. Do not recommend. It was also very expensive to make.

DElicous

Great party spread, easy to make and very tasty.

This was a huge hit at my book club! You must be patient while reducing the port, but the end result is a wonderful spread for crackers.

ok, not that thrilling I think I was expecting more from it.. I liked it.. but it doesn't fall into the top 10 for me.

I made this for my upcoming Super Bowl Party. Because I was disappointed I read the reviews and I noticed someone mentioned reducing the Port. I did not see that in the recipe. However, I thought it was way too strong (cheese) and did not care for it at all. It was an expensive venture and I will not be serving it at my party.

This was absolutely delicious and didn't take long to chill. I didn't have port so I used some cab sav I was drinking. Next time I'll probably use a fun mold to dress it up a bit. The color was rather funny looking and I think shaping it would help.

loved it, simple and tasty

This is easy & good. Everyone enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews before making this last night, because the ingredients sounded so good. Initially, it was was way too strong and a horrid grey color. This morning I added 8 oz. of lite cream cheese (tasted it), rolled it in a ball, and covered the ball with minced walnuts. The taste is much nicer, especially on a cracker and the color is more of a pale pink and doesn't look too bad in the nutball. I would try it again, starting with a cream cheese base and then slowly adding in the blue cheese.

This is an extremely large recipe but it stores well so ?I made one batch and served it at three parties. Ut was a big hit but it is important to note that it has a very strong taste. I'm going to try it with a Blue Cheese Cream Cheese instead of plain Blue Cheese and see how it comes out.

A good recipe but feel free to cut back on the butter; it only serves for texture and the recipe as written makes you feel lie you're eating butter.

Very decadent! Not a pretty color but don't let that hold you back. Will make again and again.

I completely omitted the butter, instead used equal parts cream cheese and blue cheese. Big hit with everyone! Made at Thanksgiving, divided into two small bowls and froze the second bowl. Defrosted in the refrigerator and served at Christmas. Perfect!!
