mayonnaise to moisten

Grate various cheeses, add cream cheese and blend. Add liquid, salt, & nuts. This should be soft enough to mold with hands into balls. Place ball in center of sandwich tray; dust with paprika & surround with crackers. Use knife to spread.\Half of this recipe makes a good sized ball.

Tina made various shapes: small apples (blush with paprika & cloves), pumpkins with ridges and small broccoli pieces for stem, bells.... use imagination.
