PUMPKIN PATCH CHEESE BALLS
Recipe
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
4 drops yellow liquid food coloring
2 drops red liquid food coloring
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (6 oz) garlic cheese roll
1 (7 oz) jar pimento-stuffed olives, drained
Directions:
1. Bake pine nuts in a shallow pan at 350, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until toasted; cool.
2. Stir together butter and food colorings in a large bowl. Add flour and red pepper; cut in cheese with a pastry blender until mixture is blended.
3. Shape into a large ball using hands. Press 1 tablespoon mixture around each olive. Using dull side of paring knife, score cheese balls with vertical lines to resemble pumpkins. Chill 1 hour.
4. Bake on parchment paper-lined baking sheet at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Place 1 pine nut into each cheese ball to resemble stem. Serve immediately or at room temperature, or freeze up to 1 month.
Yield: about 3 dozen.
