Here is the recipe for my favorite cheese ball...It's very simple to make. Does anyone else have a favorite? I Would like some new ideas.
PINEAPPLE CHEESE BALL
1 8 OUNCE CAN CRUSHED PINEAPPLE IN JUICE, EXTREMELY WELL DRAINED - MAY SQUEEZE PINEAPPLE IN HAND TO GET JUICE OUT. PINEAPPLE MUST BE EXTREMELY WELL DRAINED FOR CHEESE BALL TO BE FIRM.
1 TABLESPOON VERY FINELY CHOPPED GREEN BELL PEPPER (MAY USE RED FOR CHRISTMAS CHEESE BALL)
1 TABLESPOON VERY FINELY CHOPPED WHITE OR RED ONION
1 TABLESPOON VERY FINELY CHOPPED CELERY (MAY OMIT)
2/3 CUP VERY FINELY CHOPPED PECANS
8-OUNCE PACKAGE OF PHILADELPHIA CREAM CHEESE, SOFTENED
1/2 TEASPOON SALT
DASH (OR A LITTLE MORE OF HOT SAUCE)
FOLD PINEAPPLE, BELL PEPPER, CELERY (OPTIONAL), ONION and 1/3 CUP PECANS INTO THE CREAM CHEESE. ADD SALT AND HOT SAUCE. FORM MIXTURE INTO A BALL. CHILL FOR 30 MINUTES IN THE REFRIGERATOR. WRAP IN SARAN WRAP AND ALUMINUM FOIL.
AFTER THE CHEESE BALL IS FIRM, ROLL THE REMAINING 1/3 CUP OF PECANS TO COVER OUTSIDE OF THE CHEESE BALL. CHILL OVERNIGHT IN REFRIGERATOR WRAPPED SARAN WRAP AND ALUMINUM FOIL.
