Ginger's Cheese Ball

Caryn's Note:

A neighbor served this wonderful cheeseball during a Christmas gathering, and she was kind enough to share her recipe. I had no idea that this cheeseball had pineapple until I saw the recipe. This has a great flavor and texture.

This cheeseball combines a nice blend of flavors. The pineapple is subtle and adds an interesting texture without overwhelming the other flavors. I offered this on an appetizer buffet and found that even those with simple tastes loved it.
