- Mix together remaining cranberries, pecans and chives.
- Roll cheeseball in mixture, lightly pressing mixture onto the cheese as needed until it is fully covered. Place in the center of a clean plate, then allow to sit out at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve with crackers or toasted bread.
