HOLIDAY GOAT CHEESE LOG



Holiday Goat Cheese Log image

This started as a Christmas treat, but was so popular that it's now served at all special family gatherings. The idea came from a recipe in a Colonial Williamsburg cookbook, but I modified it to get rid of peppercorns and add fruit. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve with crackers.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 oz cream cheese
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained very well
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
1/4 c minced bellpepper(i use red and green)
2 c finely chopped pecans to roll logs in.
1 Tbsp grated onion

Steps:

  • 1. Mix ingredients very well.Also add 1 tablespoon grated onion. I use my hands(best tool in the kitchen). Shape into three seperate logs and roll in the 2 cups of finely chopped pecans. Mixture will be very wet, but once it's rolled in the pecans, it becomes easier to handle. Wrap seperately in plastic wrap and refrigerate, preferably overnight. Serve with any cracker of your choice.
  • 2. The men at my husbands workplace requested the logs be made with jalapeno peppers added. This is also very good, but remove the seeds and veins from the jalapenos before adding, unless you want it to be hot and spicy. I have to make a seperate batch for them because this is the way they like it...LOL
