Cheddar Cheese Mold

• 1 pound Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
• 1 cup Pecans, Finely Chopped
• 2 cups Mayonnaise
• 1 whole Medium Onion, Finely Chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, Pressed
• 2 dashes Tabasco
• 1 cup Strawberry Preserves

1. Mix all ingredients (except preserves) and press mixture into a mold lined with plastic wrap.
2. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
3. Unmold.
4. Serve with whole strawberry preserves (or jam) in the center and crackers (Ritz are my preference).
5. For a nice touch, put the strawberry preserves in a small bowl in the center of a ring mold.
6. Note: For smaller parties, I will often cut the recipe in half and use a small bowl as the mold.
