FESTIVE CHEESE BALL
Cheese is a wonderful and versatile party food. This cheese ball is loosely based on a recipe my mother always made to take to Christmas parties. It's quite different from her actual dish, but equally tasty and very easy to bring together. Time includes the first refrigeration.

Steps:
- Put the three cheeses in a food processor, and buzz until blended.
- Add the remaining ingredients -- except for the sunflower seeds and parsley -- and buzz to blend well.
- Put the cheese mixture in the fridge for two hours so it firms up.
- While cheese mixture chills, toast sunflower seeds until they are golden, then remove from pan and allow them to cool. Then stir together seeds and parsley. Set aside.
- Remove cheese mixture from fridge and shape into a ball or log (you may need to wear latex gloves to do this).
- Spread sunflower seeds and parsley on a sheet of waxed paper, and roll cheese ball/log in this combination.
- Serve with crackers, crudités and or small toasts.

Steps:
- Add the cream cheese, Cheddar, cayenne, Worcestershire, scallions, lemon juice and some salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is almost smooth; you still want a few bits of cheese in there. Remove with a rubber spatula to a piece of plastic wrap and wrap up the cheese mixture. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Shape the cheese mixture with your hands into a Christmas tree/cone using the plastic wrap to keep it together. Mix the chopped parsley and dill together on a plate or work surface. Coat the shaped cheese in the chopped herbs.
- Transfer the cheese tree to the center of a platter. Decorate with the pomegranate seeds as ornaments. Serve with buttery crackers.

Combine dried beef and fresh parsley and roll ball in the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill. For a difference you can roll in crushed walnuts or pecans.

- Note - this is best with freshly grated cheese - not the package of pre-shredded stuff, the moisture content is needed.
