  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      8 oz pkgs     cream cheese -- softened
   2      cloves        garlic -- minced
   1      teaspoon      ground ginger
   6      slices        roast beef -- cut 1/4 inch thick
   9      quartered     canned spiced crab apples -- well drained
                        cellophane-tipped toothpicks

Prepare the filling by combining the cream cheese, garlic and ginger.  Whip
in a blender.

Spread the filling generously and evenly on the roast beef slices and roll
them up lengthwise.  Wrap the rolls in foil and freeze them for half an
hour.

Remove rolls from the freezer and cut into 1-inch-wide slices, which will
have a lovely spiral design.  Garnish each slice with a quartered crab apple
attached with a cellophane-tipped toothpick and serve.  Makes about 36.

Do-Ahead Note:  Prepare the rolls the day before and freeze.  Two hours
before serving, remove from the freezer.  Cut, garnish and allow to stand at
room temperature until serving time.
