This is a deceptive cheese ball! On the outside it appears to be a fluffy white snow ball - but on the inside is a lovely combination of creamy cheese, sweet-but-spicy hot pepper peach preserves, pungent onion and firey jalapeno. The recipe is a staple on New Years Eve at my friend Annette G's house and comes from Robert Rothchild Farm gourmet foods. They make a mean Hot Pepper Peach Preserves! Estimated time includes chilling time. Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup hot pepper peach jelly (robert rothchild farm brand is awesome) |
1 tablespoon onion, minced |
1 tablespoon jalapeno, minced |
4 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Combine cream cheese, preserves, onion and jalapeno together until creamy.
2. Chill for 1 hour.
3. Roll into a ball and cover with Monterey Jack Cheese.
4. Place on decorative plate and serve with assorted crackers.
