Pop's secretary, Rita, is one of the best cooks! She brings in stuff to the store all the time. (Pop is the store manager at a farm equipment place.) She gives all the employees there a plate of candy and some of this every year for Christmas. When I lived at home, I'd sneak and eat a chunk right off the ball (like an apple..no knife necessary) and Mom would find teeth marks in it the next morning. So, I got the recipe so I could make some and not worry about leaving teeth marks in Pop's. It's good, but you really do need to let this hang out in the fridge and mellow a day or two before you eat it. Serving size of the recipe also depends on how big you make your logs. **Cook time is mellowing time.** Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese |
1 teaspoon mustard (dry it you got it, wet if you don't) |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon paprika |
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (i used the bagged stuff, but don't get the finely shredded.) |
2 teaspoons minced onions |
2 tablespoons dried parsley |
2 tablespoons chopped pimiento |
1 (3 ounce) can deviled ham |
1 -3 cup pecans, chopped fine |
Directions:
1. Allow all ingredients to come to room temperature.
2. Mix ingredients in a food processor or with a powerful mixer.
3. Shape into balls or logs in the desired size and roll in the pecans. Wrap in plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator.
