Here’s a cheeseball recipe that I thought I’d pass along. It has some unusual combinations – namely strawberry preserves. But we’re going to give it a try soon(see edit below). Let me know if you make it and what you think!
Edited later – I made this for a party last night and it is sooo good! Be sure to use the strawberry preserves as that really makes this appetizer over the top!
What will really encourage me to make this appetizer again (other than the fact that it’s really good) is it looks so darned perfect in this cute little plate I found at an auction. The plate’s been in my stash for years and I have never used it. But I think you’ll agree that this little plate was MADE for this appetizer!
By the way, I made half the appetizer/cheeseball recipe and that amount is what is shown in my picture.
Easiest and Tastiest Cheese ball EVER!! (from http://beautyandbedlam.com/)
(We are not huge mayo fans, but this mixture is so good it will become one of your favorites as well.
Combine and refrigerate. May need to add more mayonnaise based on preference. One hour prior to serving form into a ring.
Place strawberry preserves in middle. This is a MUST! For two years, I was served this cheese ball and refused to dip my cracker into the strawberry preserves. I had never tried that mix of flavors up North, but wow, I was missing it. It is an absolute favorite and even has passed the “kid” test. I drizzle the strawberry jam right on the cheeseball for my own family, but serve it separately in the middle for guests. And this photo is strategically up close since the other half of the ring has been devoured
