INGREDIENTS

subheading: Cranberry Pistachio Coating:

1 ¼ cups cranberries

1 cup shelled roasted, salted pistachios

subheading: Cheese Log:

7 to 8 oz. goat cheese log or tub

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons honey

¼ tsp EACH ground ginger, ground cinnamon, salt, dried thyme, dried rosemary

⅛ teaspoon pepper

½ cup Cranberry Pistachio Coating mixture (in directions)

subheading: Garnish:

honey

INSTRUCTIONS

Add cranberries and pistachios to your food processor and chop into small pieces (but don't over-process). Remove ½ cup and add it to a medium bowl. Add all remaining Goat Cheese Log ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine.

Add this cheese mixture to a large piece of plastic wrap, and form into the shape of a log. Wrap in plastic wrap. Freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. We want the cheese log slightly firm so it holds its shape but is still soft enough for the Coating to be pressed into it.
