Nancy’s Cheese and Nut Ring
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces extra sharp white cheddar cheese (see Notes)
  • ⅓ cup pecans, chopped
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ small onion, finely chopped
  • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • ½ cup strawberry, raspberry or apricot preserves
  • Serve with crackers
Instructions
  1. Grate cheese in a food processor or by hand.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together cheese, pecans, mayonnaise, onion, and cayenne pepper. Mixture should just bind together – add additional mayonnaise if needed.
  3. Place a small bowl in the middle of a plate. Form a ring around the bowl with the cheese and nut mixture.
  4. Place preserves in bowl just before serving. Serve with crackers.
Notes
* I do not recommend using pre-shredded cheese as a shortcut. Take a few minutes to grate your cheese.
