PINEAPPLE CHEESE BALL
This cheese ball recipe is bound to be the star of your next cheese and crackers tray. The pineapple cheese ball is a classic old-school Kraft recipe. Its one of my go-to easy appetizer recipes and always one of my holiday appetizers.

Steps:
- Drain the pineapple. In a fine-mesh strainer, drain the 20-ounce can of pineapple. Use a spatula to press out as much water as possible.
- Dice the veggies. Dice the bell pepper, jalapeño, shallot, and green onions.
- Toast and chop the pecans. I like to toast the pecan because toasting them brings out their flavor. Chop them, if they aren't already chopped.
- Mash the cream cheese. Use a fork to mash the softened cream cheese.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Add the drained pineapple, the diced veggies, the Worchestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Form and chill. Form the cheese ball mixture into a ball and wrap the whole thing in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Add the crushed pecans. Roll the chilled pineapple cheese ball in crushed pecans.
- Serve. Serve with round buttery crackers. I like Ritz and Wheat Thins.

PINEAPPLE CHEESE BALL
Pineapple lends a fruity tang to this fun and tasty appetizer. Instead of one large cheese ball, you could make two smaller ones...one to serve before a meal and one to take to a party. -Anne Halfhill, Sunbury, Ohio

SWEET & SAVORY CHEESE BALL
When I first got this recipe from a friend of mine I thought it was going to be gross, but when I tasted it, I was blown away. Who would think that a cheese ball with pineapple and olives, onions and bell pepper would be so amazingly good? This is super easy to make and put together. The flavors get better if left to sit...
