Thanksgiving Cheese Ball

Similar to other cheese ball recipes, yet different! Our family has this every year as a prelude to Thanksgiving dinner, along with a relish tray, to use up those last few minutes while the turkey’s browning. Double it and freeze one for New Year’s! Serve with an array of crackers.
