Almond Pinecone Cheeseball
Description
It's a pinecone? No, it's a savory cheese spread sparked with bacon, green onions and dill.
So pretty that guests are afraid to muss it, you'll need to dig into this creamy, pinecone-shaped cheeseball first! Add a sprig of artificial evergreen for an easy show-off holiday appetizer.
This Ewer favorite has been served in our family for over 30 years!

| 1 | Tablespoon | green onion, chopped |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | dill weed, dried |
| 1⁄8 | Teaspoon | pepper, ground |
