Welcoming Cheddar Ring
Chill: 1 hr
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (1 pound)
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
- 1 cup raspberry preserves or orange marmalade
- Fresh salad greens and fresh herbs (optional)
- Crackers and/or party rye bread
Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix cheese, mayonnaise, onion, garlic and pepper sauce.
2. Spoon firmly into a greased 3- to 3-1/2-cup ring mold. Unmold onto a serving plate. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving, if desired.
3. Fill center with raspberry preserves or orange marmalade or fresh salad greens and fresh herbs, if desired. Serve spread and preserves with crackers or party rye bread.
This is best made a day or two in advance. It makes a lot. I use half and freeze the other. I also add a good bit of pepper and a bit of salt. Serve with triscuits. I wrap the ring like a present for Christmas with green onion strips. It is a family favorite.
