Cranberry Walnut Cheese Ball
- 250 grams cream cheese softened
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar or honey
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries(Craisins)
- 2/3 cup chopped walnuts, divided
Put cream cheese in medium sized mixing bowl. Beat in the red wine vinegar and sugar until smooth. Add the dried cranberries and 1/3 cup chopped walnuts and slowly continue beating until well blended. Place mixture onto plastic wrap and shape into a ball. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2hours. When ready to serve, place remaining walnuts on a plate; unwrap cheese ball and roll in walnuts to coat outside well. Serve with slices of fresh pears and apples and crackers of your choice. Note: Alternatively make small ball appetizers using about 1 T. mixture per ball. Roll in walnuts and serve individually with a toothpick in each.
