INGREDIENTS
For the cranberry jam:
- 4 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tbsp white wine
- 2 tsp brown sugar
For the cheese log:
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 4 oz sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 1 1/2 tbsp prepared horseradish
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans
INSTRUCTIONS
For the cranberry jam:
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, white wine, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Simmer until the cranberries have burst and the mixture is thickened, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
For the cheese log:
- Using a food processor, finely chop the toasted pecans until they are roughly 1/8-inch fine. Spread the chopped nuts on a small baking sheet and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese on low until smooth, 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the shredded cheddar cheese and goat cheese. Mix on low until combined and smooth, 1-2 minutes.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the horseradish, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and prepared cranberry jam. Mix until well combined, 1 minute. Pick up all but 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture. Use hands to create a small log shape about 6 inches long and place it on the chopped nuts. Form the remaining cheese mixture into a miniature log and attach it to the larger one to form a natural-like shape. Press nuts over the entire cheese log and place in the refrigerator until firm, 4 hours.
- Once the log is chilled, it can be reshaped as needed. Place on a platter and service with crostini, crackers, or vegetables.
