Strawberry Cheese Ring

• 16 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
• One 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or powder
• Cayenne pepper to taste
• 1 cup strawberry preserves

1. Combine all ingredients except preserves in a food processor or electric mixer.
2. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
3. Scoop mixture onto a platter.
4. Use your hands to mold mixture into a ring formation (I suggest placing a sheet of wax paper between your hands and the mixture to prevent melting and stickiness).
5. Spread strawberry preserves in center of ring and serve with some good, buttery crackers.
