Ham-and-Apricot Pinwheels are a great addition to your upcoming afternoon tea events.
Ham-and-Apricot Pinwheels
Makes 36
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup finely chopped dried apricots
- 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1½ cups baby arugula leaves
- 12 thin slices deli ham
- 36 blanched chives*
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, dried apricots, and apricot preserves.
- Using a knife, spread cream cheese mixture onto each flour tortilla, approximately 3 tablespoons per tortilla. For each tortilla, layer approximately ¼ cup arugula and 2 slices ham over cream cheese mixture.
- Roll up each tortilla, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour, and cut into spirals. Wrap each spiral with a blanched chive, and secure with a loose knot.
- *To blanch chives, cook for about 10 seconds in simmering water, or microwave for about 15 seconds in a paper towel. Chives will be delicate, so preparing extra allows for breakage.
