Directions
Festive Cheese Ball, Cheese is a wonderful and versatile party food This cheese ball is loosely based on a recipe my mother always made to take to Christmas parties Its quite different from her actual dish, but equally tasty and very easy to bring together Time includes the first refrigeration , (March 18, 2013): I did not make a ball from this I made a log instead I was able to prepare the recipe somewhat as written, but I chose to roll the mixture into an approx 2 diameter x 6 long tube (using wax/plastic wrap) I refrigerated the cheese roll for about 1 hour While it was firming up, I crushed and re-hydrated some dried cranberries in a bit of warm water, strained and laid them on a plate I removed the cheese log from the fridge and rolled it into the chopped up cranberries (Sorry, I didn’t have sunflower seeds or parsley on hand when I was making this but I’m sure that would have been delicious also, and I plan to try it that way soon) Chilled again to get the coating to stick I sliced the log into approx 3 sections and placed on separate plates with another cheese, sausage, olives, crackers and a grainy mustard Thank you for posting this recipe I was a hit at our get-together (Made it just for the heck of it, and also made for PAC – Spring 2013) UPDATE: I failed to mention prior I would recommend at least doubling this recipe for a crowd
