This recipe suggests particular fruits to adorn the simple
cracker bases, but other fresh fruits, as well as steamed
asparagus pieces, broccoli flowerets, and carrot slices
could be substituted. Beat cream cheese at medium speed of
an electric mixer until smooth; add orange rind, orange
juice, and ground ginger, mixing well. Spoon mixture into
a decorating bag fitted with tip No. 18, and pipe mixture
onto crackers; set aside. Cut fruit into various shapes,
and decorate crackers as desired with fruit and mint
leaves. Yield: 4 dozen.
