HOLIDAY GOAT CHEESE LOG
This started as a Christmas treat, but was so popular that it's now served at all special family gatherings. The idea came from a recipe in a Colonial Williamsburg cookbook, but I modified it to get rid of peppercorns and add fruit. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve with crackers.

Tips:
- Choose the right goat cheese. Use a fresh, high-quality goat cheese that is firm enough to hold its shape when rolled.
- Chill the goat cheese before rolling. This will help the cheese to hold its shape better.
- Use a variety of toppings. Dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and herbs are all great options.
- Be careful not to over-roll the cheese. You want the cheese to be coated evenly with the toppings, but you don't want to crush it.
- Chill the cheese before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the cheese to set.
Conclusion:
Goat cheese logs rolled in dried cranberries are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover goat cheese. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a goat cheese log recipe that everyone will enjoy.
