Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
  • tip 2
    Jam differs from preserves in that the texture is a thick puree rather than chunks of medium to large fruit pieces.
