Cheese Ring with Jam

Ahhhhhh..We made it through the holidays! Is anyone else as exhausted as I am? What a crazy whirlwind of activity at my house this year! I don’t know about you, but a couple of simple and delicious appetizer recipes for New Year’s Eve sounds perfect to me! Today’s recipe is super simple and LOVED by everyone who tried  it. BUT don’t start your diet with this appetizer, this is not figure friendly, but it is really yummy!  This also has a fantastic presentation, very festive!

INGREDIENTS
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups real mayo
2 cups chopped pecans
2 bundles of scallions, diced
1 jar strawberry preserves

DIRECTIONS
Spray a bunt pan with non-stick spray and set aside.  Combine the first four ingredients mixing well and pour into your well greased pan. Cover and refrigerate over night. When ready to serve let sit out at room temperature and run a spatula around all of the edges of the pan. Invert on to a serving platter. Mine took a little time to loosen but it did come out pretty easy. Don’t worry if it doesn’t this is forgiving!  Mix the preserves up a little to “loosen” it and then pour on top of the ring letting the preserves fall down the side of the ring. Serve with crackers.

Enjoy!

I came across this recipe over a year ago and am not sure of the source. I will update with a source as soon as I can !!
