Ingredients:

Serves: 20

Yield: 1.0 Ball

• 2 (8 ounce) packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (mild or sharp)
• ½ tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons diced pimentos
• 2 tablespoons of diced white onions (fresh)
• 2 tablespoons of diced green peppers
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup slivered almond

Directions:

1. Let cream cheese soften to room temperature. Mix Cream cheese with shredded cheddar. Add all other ingredients EXCEPT the almonds. Mix well. This may take some effort.
2. Shape into a ball, and then coat with the almonds. Let it chill in the fridge until it is more firm. (an hour or so). Serve with crackers. My favorite are the Wheat thins.
3. NOTE: For the Christmas holidays, form cheese into a Wreath shape by putting it on a platter, and use a drinking glass to shape a hole in the middle. Fill the hole with assorted nuts, and add extra pimentos and green peppers around it to make it look Christmasty. Then you can call it a Cheese Wreath!
