Ingredients:
2 tablespoons pine nuts |
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened |
4 drops yellow liquid food coloring |
2 drops red liquid food coloring |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1 (6-ounce) garlic cheese roll |
1 (7-ounce) jar pimiento-stuffed olives, drained |
Directions:
1. Bake pine nuts in a shallow pan at 350°, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until toasted; cool.
2. Stir together butter and food colorings in a large bowl. Add flour and red pepper; cut in cheese with a pastry blender until mixture is blended. Shape into a large ball using hands.
3. Press 1 tablespoon mixture around each olive. Using dull side of a paring knife, score cheese balls with vertical lines to resemble pumpkins. Chill 1 hour.
4. Bake on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet at 400° for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Place 1 pine nut into each cheese ball to resemble stem. Serve immediately or at room temperature, or freeze up to 1 month.
