CANADIAN SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD

Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

MIDDLE AGED SPREAD

A recreation of a favorite appetizer cheese spread my parents used to get at the little store near their house. You can substitute Stilton or Gorgonzola for the blue and/or Gloucester for the cheddar, if desired. (NOTE: The prep time is to allow the two cheeses to soften.)
