For a sugar-free version, use sugar-free apricot preserves and adjust horseradish to taste. To make a lighter version, substitute Neufchâtel cheese for cream cheese. If you're short on time, you can serve the mixture immediately after preparing it, but chilling allows the flavors to fully develop. Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
