Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces white cheddar, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup chopped chive
- 1 large pomegranate, or two small ones
Instructions
- 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.
- Scoop the cheese mixture out of the food processor and form into a ball by hand. Place on a serving platter.
- Remove the arils from the pomegranate and press the pointed ends into the cheese ball, covering completely. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- 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!
