BRAUNSCHWEIGER SNOWBALL

Braunschweiger Snowball image

Even folks who normally don't care for braunschweiger can't seem to resist this creamy spread. Topped with red and green peppers, it's a natural for holiday entertaining. Sometimes I like to form a wreath of fresh parsley around it. -Pat Gulley, Harrisburg, Illinois
