Wasabi Pineapple Cheese Ball

Submitted by Montana Heart Song

"Wasabi is very hot horseradish. This combined with pineapple, sugar and other ingredients is very refreshing spread on Rye Cocktail Bread Squares. It is also very delicious spread on celery sticks. Nice to take to a potluck or social cocktail party. It is also great as a gift for Thanksgiving dinner or the day after Christmas when friends and neighbors are eating leftovers. (Prep time does not include Refrigeration time)"

Although a creative use of contest ingredients this recipe wasn't a hit for my family. While I enjoyed the savory elements I found the cheeseball excessively sweet and the nutmeg too much of a top note. The combination of olives, wasabi peas, and pineapple were colorful and the chilled mixture did form nicely into a ball. Thank you for sharing your contest entry & I look forward to trying more of your recipes! =)
