A few days ago when I was grocery shopping I saw a "Discontinued" sign
and the price for Judy Ann Benedictine Spread had been reduced to $3.99.
It was selling for $5.99 when we last bought some.

I Searched on Wikipedia for it and learned the page is titled
"Benedictine (Spread)" and has a Recipe and several Links to articles
about the Lady and her Product.

When I went to the Judy Ann Select website there wasn't anything on it.

The Page is down.

I guess the Distributor went out of business since the last time I visited
their site.

The Store I shop at had been stocking it all year long.

I'm glad to find the Recipe for it on the Wiki page
(and Thanks for posting Yours).

Benedictine Spread isn't something that I keep in the refrigerator all the
time, but occasionally I like to make a sandwich with it.

Here I was Bragging about a Benedictine Spread Sandwich recently, and now
if I want to have one it looks like We will have to make our own Spread.

Thanks for Your and Jim's Replies about Benedictine/Cucumber Spread.


... The Recipe says a pinch of spice. I thought it said a 'pound'.
