This cheese log is full of delicious sweet and tangy flavour and perfect for serving at holiday celebrations. I actually made this recipe for thanksgiving but it's honestly suited for the entire season, hence why it would also make the perfect appetizer for christmas dinner. Everyone absolutely loved it! I am also a big fan of making fancy looking foods that are actually pretty easy to make which is especially important for most of us running on a busy schedule. This cheese log pairs nicely with crackers and wine! If you make this over the holidays you will definitely impress your guests with the way it looks and tastes.
