Instructions

  1. Place the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne in the food processor. Pulse to combine. Then add in the cranberries and chive and pulse again until evenly mixed.
  2. Scoop the cheese mixture out of the food processor and form into a ball by hand. Place on a serving platter.
  3. Remove the arils from the pomegranate and press the pointed ends into the cheese ball, covering completely. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Set out an hour before serving to soften. Place a few extra pieces of chive in the top if you want it to look like it has a stem. Serve the cheese ball with chips, crackers, or cut veggies.

Notes

  • Quick Tip: Nowadays you can find pomegranate arils already removed from the pods. Look in the refrigerator section of the produce department!
