8 ounces cream cheese, (softened)
8 ounces white cheddar, (shredded)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chopped chive
1 large pomegranate, (or two small ones)

Steps:

  • Place the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne in the food processor. Pulse to combine. Then add in the cranberries and chive and pulse again until evenly mixed.

  • Remove the arils from the pomegranate and press the pointed ends into the cheese ball, covering completely. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
