This is a sinfully creamy and sweet fruit salad.  I’m not even sure it qualifies as a salad!  More like a dessert, really.  It’s fun to create little “boats” out of the peach and pear, and it makes this fruit salad a very special treat for two!

1 (3 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
3 t apricot preserves
1 (8 oz) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 fresh peach, halved, scoop out pit
1 fresh pear, halved, scoop out the center
1 T pecans, chopped
4 Mint leaves

Place the cream cheese into a mixing bowl.
Add the apricot preserves and with an electric mixer on low speed beat until mixture becomes creamy.
Fold in the pineapple tidbits.
Slice a small portion off of the bottom of the pear and peach halves so they will lie on the plate.
Spoon the pineapple mixture onto each of the fruit halves.
Sprinkle the top with the pecans and add a mint leaf for garnish.
Serving Size:  2
