Instructions
- Mix the softened cream cheese and white cheddar cheese together using a mixer or by hand.
- Pour the jar of Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Jalapeño Fruit Spread into a mesh strainer that has been placed over a bowl. Stir a few times until about 2 tablespoons of fine jelly are strained into the bowl. Place the contents of the bowl back in the Smucker’s jar and save for later use.
- Blend the remaining Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Jalapeño Fruit Spread with the cheese mixture. When well blended, add jalapeño and parsley.
- Place two sections of plastic wrap on the counter. Divide the cheese mixture between the two sections. Wrap the mixture into a ball. Make sure it is completely covered with the plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- When ready to serve, unwrap the cheese ball and roll it in the pecan chips until it is completely covered. Serve on a plate or platter with a variety of crackers, celery sticks, carrot sticks, and sliced cucumbers.
Notes
- Recipe Tips:
- Chill for at least one hour, but longer is better. I usually like to refrigerate the cheese ball overnight.
- To Freeze: wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then place in an airtight container or freezer bag. It can freeze for 1 to 2 months.
- To Store: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. To stay safe from bacteria, a cheese ball should be left out at room temperature no more than 4 hours.
