Simplify cocktail party prep

Hosting is a big responsibility that only gets bigger when food is being served. Hosts without much time on their hands to prepare foods for cocktail hour need only a few minutes to whip up the following recipe for “Gorgonzola Canapes with Walnuts” from A.J. Rathbun’s “Party Snacks!” (Harvard Common Press).
Gorgonzola Canapes with Walnuts
Makes 30 canapes
11/2 cups crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
30 sturdy round crackers
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
In a medium-size bowl, toss the Gorgonzola and walnuts. When tossing, be gentle, as you donÕt want to end up with big clumps.
Top each cracker with a small mound of the cheese mixture, pressing the mixture lightly onto each cracker to keep it from slipping off. Top each cracker with 3 or 4 cranberries, and sprinkle a touch of minced parsley on top of each.
