Instructions
- Drain the cherries, then rinse them very well.
- Chop the cherries, rinse them again and dry them with a paper towel until the paper towel is not becoming red every time it touches them (the cherries must be very dry and well rinsed).
- In your stand mixer (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), beat the cream cheese, sugar, orange zest, and ground ginger until well combined then barely fold in the cherries.
- Scoop the cream cheese mixture onto a large 15x30 piece of plastic wrap.
- Shape the cream cheese into a log like mixture then close the plastic wrap over it and twist the edges in opposite directions until you have a tight log shape.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Remove the cheese from the refrigerate and unroll from the plastic wrap then roll it in the pecan pieces until well coated.
