FESTIVE CHEESE BALL

This is a good basic cheese ball that can be made ahead of time and freezes well for a few weeks.  We served this at Tonya's wedding and I used it for lots of Christmas gatherings. 

2 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. (10 oz.) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple, drained
2 T. green onion, chopped
2 T. Worchestershire sauce
2/3 c. pecans, chopped

Thoroughly blend cream cheese and cheddar cheese.  Fold in pineapple, onion and Worchestershire sauce.  Refrigerate several hours, shape into 2 balls about the size of a baseball.  Roll in the chopped nuts.  Refrigerate over night.  Serve with crackers.  These may be wrapped and frozen several weeks ahead of use.
