Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Let all the cheese stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to soften. Toast almonds, let cool. Chop coarsely.
  2. I use my potato masher and mix the cheeses, the nuts and the liquour and shallot until well blended. If you have a food processer, you can accomplish this in a few pulses. I don't like cleaning mine, so I get the arm work out with the masher. If only it would take out the calories of eating this.
  3. Add the chopped dried cranberries and mix in well.
  4. I have a pretty heart shaped mold that I line with cheese cloth and fill packing the cheese in very tightly and then cover with cheese cloth and a double wrap of plastic wrap. Put in the refrigerator over night to mellow the flavor. (even two days is okay, you want the cherry liqour to mellow out with all the cheeses)
  5. Flip mold over on plate, at least 20 minutes before serving so it can warm up. remove cheese cloth and surround with your favorite crackers. My kids liked the butterfly shaped plain crackers.
  6. It's pink, it's delicious and people can't guess what is in it.
