Notes
This spread was originally made for a bagel spread but it is now popular as a canapé topping or by the spoonful from the fridge.. It will last for a few weeks in the fridge and taste better as it ages. Having it last a few weeks in the fridge is usually driven by being hid behind a large container. Keep it visible and it will be gone in a day.
