Fig and Blue Cheese Pinwheels

- 1/4 cup Dalmatia Original Fig Spread
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Holiday Entertaining Tip: When arranging your bites, think about variety and color. Mix sweet and savory, soft and crunchy, to give guests an irresistible spread. And don’t forget a few festive garnishes—fresh herbs, edible flowers, or even a scattering of pomegranate seeds can elevate your platters instantly.
