Pistachio Cranberry Cream Cheese Log

1 pkg cream cheese
Dried cranberries
Pistachio nuts

Chop the nuts and cranberries, soften the cream cheese.
In a bowl mix the cheese with a handful of the berries and nuts plus a pinch of salt.
Next, drop this mixture by spoonful into some plastic wrap. Firm your log and refrigerate for about half hour - or longer.

When ready to serve place the remaining nuts and berries on a dinner plate and unwrap the cream cheese. Roll the log in the nut mixture to completely coat the outside. Place log on serving dish and arrange crackers around.

1. Cream cheese is very versatile. Put a block of cream cheese on a plate and

spoon pepper jelly over the top. I made quite a bit of jalapeno jelly this past summer, so this is an easy choice. I also like to put it on grilled cheese sandwiches.
