Cooking Instructions
- 1
Let the butter and cream cheese come up to room temperature. Shred the cheese in the meantime.
- 2
Mix the ingredients for the cheese ball together. Form into a bird shape on the serving platter.
- 3
Cut a large section of lemon rind into a triangle to use as the beak (I inserted two black sesame seeds for the nostrils). Cut two more large sections of lemon rinds and cut each one into a three clawed bird foot.
- 4
Decorate the body of the bird with pecans, leaving the head empty as well as the wing sections. Use sliced almonds to fill in the wings like feathers.
- 5
Add small pieces of olives for the eyes.
- 6
Refrigerate for a few hours and serve with crackers of your choice.

Cheeseball Cheeseball
This is an OLD family recipe of my grandma's, at least 50+ years old. She had made this since before I was even born. She would make it whenever expecting company and it went fast. I've since made it for cookouts, holidays, etc, and it's a highly requested and VERY popular item! I promise you won't be disappointed!

Been enjoying many iterations of a cheeseball for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years since I was a child in the 70's. Thought I'd add my own twist for this 2020 season.

Pineapple cheese ball Pineapple cheese ball
This was my first time making it and I thought it was really delicious however I originally made it with 1 8 oz can of crushed pineapple but added another 8 oz can to the recipe because I thought it lacked pineapple taste so feel free to use 1 can if you think that would be to much and I will be adding in 1 or 2 minced jalapeños next time as well for a sweet and spicy flavor.
