1 1/2 cups almonds - toasted
1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 ounces cream cheese
5 slices bacon; cooked, minced
1 tablespoon scallion
1/2 teaspoon dill; (optional)
Freshly-ground white pepper; to taste

Toast almonds and set aside. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and
mix well. Chill for at least 1 hour. Form the cream cheese mixture into the
shape of a pinecone. Beginning at the bottom, gently press the almonds in
