This recipe is featured in the Woman's World Magazine and looks so good, and not to hard. The recommend not adding the pecans no sooner than an hour or two before serving so the nuts stay crunchy. A very impressive cheese ball for parties. This is a sweet and savory appetizer that looks as amazing as it tastes. Shaped into a pineapple and top with leafy top of the fresh pineapple. Prep time does not include refrigeration time.
