This dip is addictive, once you start you can't stop. My office used to have a monthly pot luck and this dip was a staple and the first to go. I mixed the first 4 ingredients together the night before and poured them over the cream cheese the next day when the luncheon started.

Horseradish and apricot? Seems like an interesting combination. I've never had it before, but I'll definitely make this next time!

I know why they call this Sweet and Spicy Jezebel Dip...because it is wickedly good. I would never have dreamed of combining horseradish sauce and apricot preserves together, but the flavor is divine (pun intended). I served it with toast points just for a little extra flare and it was perfect. I think it would also be perfect on a vegetable platter.

One would be hard pressed to find a recipe any easier than this one. What I am interested in is know how this recipe got its name. This is a drip to serve to a large crowd. With the ingredients you will be able to find a few that would like this.

I can honestly say, I have never had horseradish sauce but my husband loves all things spicy. I think he will be hosting a game or two in the man cave in the next month or so. This may be one to guinea pig the guys with.

Hmmmmm, this is something I've never heard of before but anything that has apricot or horseradish in it is a friend of mine. LOL The flavors I'm sure will go together really well but I have to wonder, if you were to mix all of the ingredients together would it hold up or turn into a soupy mess? Either way, I think it would be great with pretzels or even veggies.

I'm a huge fan of sweet-and-spicy food. A few months ago my grandma mixed spicy relish with cream cheese for an appetizer and it was SO good--this kind of reminds me of that! Horseradish has a great kick that would go so well with sweet preserves. NEED to try it!

My oh my, this Sweet and Spicy Jezebel Dip is really good! I have often used bottled sweet chili sauce over cream cheese but this Jezebel Dip is so much better so I will definitely be using it from now on. Next time I might add some chopped fresh chili just to see how that tastes.
