Debby's Notes:

I sometimes shape this like a pinecone and layer with whole almonds during the holidays - it always gets favorable comments.

You can use any dried fruit in place of the craisins.

Serve with nice assortment of crackers like Triscuits©, Sociables©, Ritz©, or any of your favorites.

 

Directions

1
Mix the cheeses together using an electric mixer until very well blended.
2
Add the drained pineapple and cinnamon and mix into the cheese using the mixer.
3
Add the craisins and mix.
4
Place the cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until well-chilled.
5
Roll the cheese mixture into a ball.
6
Roll the ball in the chopped nuts until covered on all sides.
