🍲 Ingredients
Cranberries – Cranberries seriously scream the holiday season. They are the perfect berry to add to cooking and baking. That’s because they are in-season during the winter months, versus other berries that flourish in the summer. I like to use Cape Cod Select Cranberries. They sell fresh and frozen, premium cranberries and they’re so good in recipes. They use no additives, they are sustainably farmed, which is very important to me Rosemary – If you think of a winter herb, you think of rosemary. Rosemary is the perfect hearty herb to add to soups, casseroles, and other holiday dishes for a delicious earthy flavor. In this cheese log the rosemary really compliments the cranberries. I would recommend using fresh only.
👩🍳 How to Make a Cheese Log
🪄 Tips and Tricks
Making in Advance? Make sure to not roll the cheese log in pistachios until you’re ready to serve. This way they’ll maintain their crunch. Serving: Serve this cheese log with fresh, homemade pita bread (or store-bought), you can also serve it with crackers or crostini.
🗒 Variations & Substitutions
Nut-Free: If you have allergies, or your guests do, you can make this nut-free. Just make the cheese log as is but eliminate the nuts. You won’t get the crunch, but it’s still delicious without them Herbs: If you don’t have rosemary on hand, you can swap for fresh thyme instead Berries: If you want to try a different combination, other than cranberries, you can try this with blueberries. I’d remove the sundried tomatoes though
🗒 Best served with
Greek Pita Homemade Crackers Crostini with Roasted Grapes (another great holiday appetizer)
👝 How to Store Leftovers
Roll the log back up into the parchment paper and foil to store in the fridge. The pistachios on the outside will become a bit soft, but it’ll still be delicious. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days. If you want to make it in advance for a party, just don’t roll it is pistachios until you are ready to serve.
