Secret Recipe Club – Spicy Pecan Cheeseball
October 17, 2011 in appetizer
Yup, it’s that time again! Another Secret Recipe Club reveal day!
This month I was assigned to Savour the Senses which is written by Jenny. I knew I would like Jenny as soon as I visited her about page and saw the picture of her eating a mango (I think?) off a giant fork. Now that is a girl I’d like to hang out with. Jenny has a ton of recipes that looked awesome and uhh… hey Jenny, I’m not too far from you if you’re ever hosting a dinner party and need guests. *ahem*
I found this recipe for Spicy Cheddar Pecan Dip and it immediately reminded me of my favorite cheeseball. So of course I had to turn the dip into a cheeseball! And it was…
Wait for it.
Ballin’. ;)
I couldn’t keep myself away from this cheeseball. Ridiculously good. In that cheeseball that I linked to above, strawberry jam is spread over the cheeseball so the spicy pepper jelly was a great way to switch things up. I’m already excited to make this one again!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients but the hot pepper jelly and form into a ball. Spread jelly over the ball. (You may need to warm the jelly – I had to thin mine out with about a tablespoon of water to get it to spread.) Serve with crackers and whatever jelly you have leftover.
That cheese ball looks really yummy. I’m always looking for super easy recipes to take to events we attend and this one looks like it might be a winner.
Looks amazing and easy! That makes it a winner for sure!
Mmm, that sounds really good!
I’m totally a sucker for a cheese ball. Love the strawberry OR pepper jam, YUM!
I have never tried making these – and think I should as yours look great :)
Amanda this looks great. I can only imagine how good it tasted. I have to try this soon!
this looks sooo good! I love the SRC and you are such a sweetheart…ive seen your comments on like 10 blogs already and it’s still early! you are so supportive; love that too!
So excited to see what you did with my recipe! Looks too delicious. I have been wanting to make that dip again so now I have an excuse to make it the way you did! Looking forward to your future posts!
What a pretty appetizer…and it sounds delicious. theresa
I’ve never made a cheese ball. This one looks so tasty!
You might have to seriously keep me away with my spoon in hand! Yum!
Yum, I love hot pepper jelly. It is so addicting! I haven’t made a cheese ball in forever but it sounds really really good right now. I would definitely need to share though!
Holy yum. I now know what I’m doing with the jar of pepper jelly that’s sitting in my pantry!
I LOVE the hot pepper jelly addition! Oh YUMS!!!!
Your Spicy Pecan Cheeseball looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing and it is fun cooking with you in the SRC!

That looks amazing! The pics are great. I make a dairy free “cheese” ball that I now think needs hot pepper jelly and pecans… Yum! Thanks for sharing!
Until just recently I have been scared of cheeseballs my whole life. I can’t believe I missed out on the radness of the cheeseball for so long. I am working hard to make up for all the missed time and this is moving to the top of my list. They are such a great appetizer.
love it so pretty I am ready to help you finish that off………..andi
I love cheese balls, perfect for the upcoming holidays. This one look delicious.
I’ve never seen anything like your spicy pecan cheeseball, but now that you’ve posted about it, I can’t seem to take my eyes off your photos! This looks delightfully yummy and is a must-try for my next dinner party ;-).
That is a cheeseball I’d be more than happy to eat. I wonder how I can fit it in to tomorrow night’s book club theme…
Looks wonderful and I will be making this the next time we have guests.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my group “A” SRC recipe this month: Levain Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies.

I love the pepper jelly on top! It’s one of my favorite spreads and it doesn’t get nearly enough air time. I would have a hard time staying away from that yumminess, too!
Yum! Looks great! Fun to participate in SRC with you!
Wow this looks so delicious. The pepper jelly on top seems so festive, I could definitely see this working as a great appetizer come Christmas! It was great cooking along with you in the SRC! :)
