FRUITY CHEESE BALL
Another cracker salad from my younger days. A lady from the church we attended for years gave this to me. It's a bit different because of the pineapple, but the combination of the flavors is really good. Cooking time is chill time.

FRUIT BALL
I tried this recipe at a party once and loved it. It is a very sweet "dip" but very addictive. I usually serve it with Wheat Thins. Although this is very quick and easy to make, it needs time to chill.

Steps:
- Put butter, cream cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until combined. Divide equally among 3 medium bowls.
- Stir cheddar cheese and chutney with base mixture in the first bowl. Form into a ball. Roll cheese ball in cranberries to coat before serving. Serve with crackers.

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Cream cheese is the most common type of cheese used in cheese balls, but you can also use other types of soft cheese, such as goat cheese, feta cheese, or blue cheese. If you are using a hard cheese, such as cheddar cheese, you will need to grate it finely before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your cheese ball, such as herbs, spices, nuts, fruits, or vegetables. Be creative and experiment with different flavors to find the ones you like best.
- Chill the cheese ball before serving: This will help it to firm up and make it easier to slice or scoop.
- Serve the cheese ball with crackers, bread, or vegetables: This will help to balance out the richness of the cheese.
Conclusion:
Cheese balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or any other gathering. With a little creativity, you can create a cheese ball that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for an easy and delicious appetizer, give a cheese ball a try!
