Pineapple Cheese Ball

We had a good friend a few years back that told us about his mom’s famous cheese ball. He said that I had to make it as soon as possible and that it is always a favorite when they get together. Pineapple cheese ball sounded really unique to me and I had to try it out as soon as he gave me the recipe. He was right! It was incredible and we couldn’t seem to get enough. The flavors blended so well together and I actually loved the sweet pineapple throughout. The crunchy pecans on the outside always give a cheese ball the perfect finishing touch. I take this cheese ball with me to every gathering that we have, especially around the holidays. This is a favorite now at our house and I know it will be a hit at yours as well!

How to Roll a Cheese Ball?

When rolling Cheese Balls I find it easiest to transfer the mixture onto a section of Saran Wrap, then pulling the corners together and twisting it to easily for a ball with minimal mess. Then by either cutting the wrap at the base of the twist, or by simply untwisting it to transfer it to a serving dish.

How long should cream cheese be left out to soften?

When letting your cream cheese soften, leave it on the counter for half an hour in its original container. After 30 minutes, open the package and check the texture. If the cream cheese still feels cool to the touch, then check it again in about 20-30 minutes.

How long can a cheese ball sit out?

Since cheese balls are usually served as appetizers at parties, they shouldn’t be left out for longer than two hours at a time.

How to pick a good Bell Pepper?

When picking a bell pepper it’s important to first think of whether you’re looking for a more bitter flavor or sweet. Red Bell Peppers are sweeter because they are the most Ripe, with green being the most bitter because it is the least ripe. Another important thing to check when shopping for Bell Peppers is the weight. The heavier they are the more flavor they will have. This will also be shown through the peppers skin. If the pepper’s skin is tight and not wrinkly, it will mean it is juicy and hydrated giving it the most flavor. Beyond that, just make sure the Stem looks healthy and that you don’t notice any bruising upon the pepper.
