A friend of mine brought this cheese roll to a party one time.  It is colorful and very festive-looking.  It also is delicious - very different from the typical cheese roll.

 Holiday Cheese Roll

two 8-0z packages cream cheese

1 small jar Maraschino cherries, drained, blotted and finely chopped

Very finely chopped onion (just a little bit - maybe 1 or 2 teaspoons)

1 bell pepper, finely chopped

1 small can crushed pineapple, drained

Seasoned salt

Mix ingredients well and form into a roll or ball.  Once formed, roll in finely chopped nuts (pecans are best).  Serve with crackers. 

This is a wonderful cheese roll to use at parties - colorful and delicious!
