This simple Bulgarian Spread recipe was altered from The Sophia Echo, a foreign newspaper in Bulgaria. It was showcased in the article “Christmas deliciousness” by Magdalena Rahn on Christmas Day in 2006.
This recipe is similar to the Honey Walnut Spread by the California Walnut Board, but simpler, and without the need for cheese.
If you do want to try this honey walnut spread on “cheese” I highly recommend my easy Dairy-free “Yogurt” Cheese Recipe. The two pair quite well.
