PINEAPPLE PECAN CHEESE SPREAD

A little bit sweet, a little bit crunchy and a little bit spicy. A great spread to take to a party. Found this recipe in Jan/Feb 2007 edition of Simple & Delicious (a Taste of Home publication so you know it's good). Serve with assorted fresh veggies and crackers for dipping and spreading. Feel free to increase the heat with a half tsp of diced fresh Jalapeno pepper.

PECAN SPREAD

I do not remember where I got the recipe for the Snowcap Spread. Since this is Pecan Month, here is a spread for crackers from the Colorado Cachet cookbook. Though the recipe indicates putting the pecan pieces on top, I just mix them into the spread. I have also altered this to include 1/3 cup diced green olives 8 ounces deviled ham, and 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper. (This is really mixing another recipe (Snowcap Spread with the Pecan Spread)

Steps:

Place nuts in food processor and process until finely chopped; it takes about 10 seconds.
Add both cheeses.
Process until very smooth; again, it should only take about 10 seconds.
Pack into a bowl and refrigerate until serving; this is best if allowed to chill for a few hours.
A dribble of brandy or port added when you add the cheeses doesn't hurt.

2 tablespoons blue cheese
