Pumpkin Cheese Spread

Pumpkin Cheese Spread
A festive Thanksgiving hors d'oeuvre or just a winter spread - either way you can't go wrong.
Ingredients
1 Tbs. butter
1/2 C. chopped pecans
12 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 C. crumbled blue cheese
1 1/2 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 C. canned pumpkin
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-4 Tbs. sweet or dry sherry
Directions
Line a 4-cup mold with plastic wrap. In small skillet, melt butter. Sauté pecans for 1 minute or
until golden. In large bowl, beat cream cheese, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, pumpkin and garlic
on medium speed until creamy. Beat in enough sherry to make desired spreading consistency.
Spoon into mold. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or until firm enough to hold shape.
Unmold onto serving plate. Press pecans on top. Serve with crackers.
