DSC_0011

INGREDIENTS:
4 cups/16 oz. finely shredded cheddar-jack or colby-jack cheese
1 bunch chopped chives or 3-4 scallions
chopped pecans (about 1/4 cup)
Smuckers Raspberry Preserves
Hellmann's or Duke's Real Mayonnaise

DIRECTIONS:
Mix cheese and chopped chives/scallions together. Add just enough mayonnaise to hold cheese together. Roll into a log or pat into a shape on a platter. Press chopped pecans onto outside of cheese log. Just before serving, stir raspberry preserves well with a knife to break up and liquify somewhat, then spread preserves on top.

Serve with buttery crackers such as Pepperidge Farm Entertaining Trio or Keebler Toasteds Butterthins.
