Festive Cheese Spread

---

The most delicious tasting spread! sometimes i roll it into a log or ball with nuts, and other times i just put it in a crock. the ingredients sound strange but taste great together. i have been asked to make this for friends' parties and share the recipe. easy, but fancy-looking, especially if you do the ball or log and arrange nice crackers or/and fruit around it. great for parties or pot luck. i got this from pampered chef and altered a bit to my liking.
