I wish I was a cheese baller from This Will Make It Taste Good: A New Path to Simple Cooking (page 312) by Vivian Howard

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute the book's "V's nuts" for pecans. Uses the book's "Sweet potential" for fruit preserves.

    This is not a cheese ball but a baked cheese spread that includes some fruit preserves. It's luxurious and delicious. I used Whole Fig and Lemon Preserves from Deep Run Roots. They were thicker than the syrup that Vivian describes for Sweet Potential so I added water and simmered for a while to get them back to that consistency. I tested freezing the mix before baking in 2.5 oz and 4 oz portions and it's easy to take one out of the freezer, pop it into a ramekin and bake it for a quick treat for 1 or 2 people.
