Ingredients

  • 2 – 8 oz. Cream Cheese
  • 8 1/4 oz. Crushed Pineapple {small can}

Details

Preparation

Step 1


Set the Cream Cheese out, bring to room temperature.

Toast the Pecan Pieces {2 Cups}

Set 1 Cup of Pecan Pieces to the side {they will be used on the exterior of the cheese ball}. The other cup of
pecan pieces will be used inside the cheese ball.

Drain the Crushed Pineapple {NOTE: You must remove as much liquid as possible, too much
liquid will prevent the cheese ball from setting up}.

Finely Chop the Bell Pepper

Finely Chop the Pearl Onion

In a mixing bowl, preferably a Stainless Steel bowl, Mix Together the Cream Cheese,
Crushed Pineapple, Bell Pepper, Season Salt, Pearl Onions and 1 Cup of the Toasted Pecan Pieces.

Set Mixing Bowl in the Refrigerator. It will take a couple of hours for it to set up.

Remove Mixing Bowl from the Refrigerator. Form the Cheese Ball. Roll Cheese Ball in the 1 Cup of Pecan
Pieces retained to coat the exterior of the cheese ball. Return to Refrigerator until ready to serve.

Serve with appropriate crackers or chips.

*Note: Next time, I will try with a little thinly diced Jalapeno for a added interest – not much, you do not want to overpower the other ingredients**
