PINEAPPLE CHEESE BALL

Pineapple lends a fruity tang to this fun and tasty appetizer. Instead of one large cheese ball, you could make two smaller ones...one to serve before a meal and one to take to a party. -Anne Halfhill, Sunbury, Ohio

PINEAPPLE CHEESE BALL



Pineapple Cheese Ball image

Sweet and savory pineapple cheese ball is a unique, delicious party appetizer. Guests love it! Cream cheese, crushed pineapple, bell pepper and crunchy pecans.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h23m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups raw pecan halves
2 (8-ounce) packages reduced fat cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple
1 small red bell pepper (finely chopped (about 1 cup))
1/4 cup minced green onions (plus additional for garnish)
Crackers ((our family loves Triscuits or Ritz))
Toasted baguette slices

Steps:

  • Toast the pecans: preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until toasted and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through. DO NOT WALK AWAY. Nuts love to burn at the last second. Let cool, then chop go for a medium chop, a little bit finer than rough chopped (but they certainly don't need to be microscopic pieces).
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the garlic powder, salt, and cayenne until smooth and combined.
  • By hand, stir in the pineapple, bell pepper, and green onion.
  • Add half of the chopped pecans.
  • Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Scrape the cheese pineapple mixture into the center in as globe-like of a mound as you can. It will not be a perfect sphere at this point.
  • Wrap the edges of the plastic around it to seal and encourage it to form a round ball. Place the wrapped cream cheese in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, remove the chilled cheese ball from the refrigerator. Place the chopped pecans on a plate. (I find it's easiest to use a plate with edges that curve up a little. A pie dish works well too.) Unwrap the cheese ball and place it on the plate with the pecans, coating well. The cheese ball won't roll like a real ball. Gently lift and turn it, patting the pecans all over the outside. Carefully transfer it to a serving plate. Serve with crackers or baguette slices and a sprinkle of additional green onion for garnish.

HOLIDAY CHEESE LOG



Holiday Cheese Log image

I got this recipe many years ago from a friend of mine. My family and friends start requesting these just before the holidays. Hope ya'll enjoy these as much as we do...:)

Provided by tarina wyatt

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 oz cream cheese
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained very well
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
1/4 c minced bellpepper(i use red and green)
2 c finely chopped pecans to roll logs in.
1 Tbsp grated onion

Steps:

  • 1. Mix ingredients very well.Also add 1 tablespoon grated onion. I use my hands(best tool in the kitchen). Shape into three seperate logs and roll in the 2 cups of finely chopped pecans. Mixture will be very wet, but once it's rolled in the pecans, it becomes easier to handle. Wrap seperately in plastic wrap and refrigerate, preferably overnight. Serve with any cracker of your choice.
  • 2. The men at my husbands workplace requested the logs be made with jalapeno peppers added. This is also very good, but remove the seeds and veins from the jalapenos before adding, unless you want it to be hot and spicy. I have to make a seperate batch for them because this is the way they like it...LOL
