INGREDIENTS:
1 pound sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup mayonnaise
2 TBS finely grated onion
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
12 ounces of strawberry preserves
INSTRUCTIONS:
Lightly toast the pecans in the oven at 350° or in a dry skillet over medium heat. Let cool. Set aside 2 TBS of pecans for garnish.
Grate the cheese with a box grater or food processor. Finely grate the onion.
Put all ingredients (except strawberry preserves) in a medium mixing bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
Turn the mixture out onto a board or serving plate. Using your hands, shape into a ring. Place preserves in the center of the ring. Sprinkle with the reserved pecans.
Serve with assorted crackers. May be made ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Serve and Enjoy!
