Steps:
- 1. Using room temperature wine, place in small bowl and add gelatine; mix well. Add parmesan cheese and dissolve by stirring constantly with a small whisk. Set aside and let gelatine form.
- 2. Heat half & half in a saucepan until bubbles form around edge of pan; do not boil.
- 3. Place grated cheddar in food processor. Slowly add half & half and mix until cheese is smooth and silky. Add salt and pepper.
- 4. In a serving bowl, place 1/3 of the cheese mixture on the bottom. Dollop 1/3 of the port wine "jelly" on to the cheese. Using a chopstick, "marble" the port, but not mixing completely with the cheddar. Repeat this step two more times. Remember, the last time you do this step is your "presentation". Swirl carefully!
- 5. Chill for at least 6 hours so the flavors can marry. When ready to serve, let come up to [nearly] room temperature. Enjoy!

CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD
A simple spread like this with some crackers is often all you need when entertaining. Letting the spread refrigerate overnight blends the flavors beautifully. -Kathy Rairigh, Milford, Indiana

PORT WINE CHEESE SPREAD
I picked the recipe up from the Southern Food section of About.com. My family loves Port Wine Cheese, but we've only had the pre-packaged Wispride version before. I'm looking forward to trying this for the holidays.
