Pineapple And Cranberry Cheeseball Bites Food

PINEAPPLE CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Toast the pecans: preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until toasted and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through. DO NOT WALK AWAY. Nuts love to burn at the last second. Let cool, then chop go for a medium chop, a little bit finer than rough chopped (but they certainly don't need to be microscopic pieces).
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the garlic powder, salt, and cayenne until smooth and combined.
• By hand, stir in the pineapple, bell pepper, and green onion.
• Add half of the chopped pecans.
• Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Scrape the cheese pineapple mixture into the center in as globe-like of a mound as you can. It will not be a perfect sphere at this point.
• Wrap the edges of the plastic around it to seal and encourage it to form a round ball. Place the wrapped cream cheese in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• When ready to serve, remove the chilled cheese ball from the refrigerator. Place the chopped pecans on a plate. (I find it's easiest to use a plate with edges that curve up a little. A pie dish works well too.) Unwrap the cheese ball and place it on the plate with the pecans, coating well. The cheese ball won't roll like a real ball. Gently lift and turn it, patting the pecans all over the outside. Carefully transfer it to a serving plate. Serve with crackers or baguette slices and a sprinkle of additional green onion for garnish.

Place chopped pecans and chopped cranberries in a shallow dish, you can mix them or keep them separate...I like to roll some in each ingredient and them combine the two on some just for a bit of color and flavor variety! Remove cheese bites from fridge. Gently shape cheeseballs into square, tiny package like shapes and roll in cranberry/pecan mixture. "Tie" with a fresh chive and place on a cracker. Arrange on a platter. Enjoy!
