Reply #12: Swiss Cheese & Cherry Spread

[merci_me]

My daughter who hates Swiss cheese looooves this one.

Swiss Cheese & Cherry Spread

3 cups shredded Swiss cheese (12 oz)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup dried tart red cherries (can use the dried cran-cherries)
1/2 cup mayo
2 tsp. Dijoin mustard
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions

Bring cheese and butter to room temp. Meanwhile, snip cherries and cover with boiling water and let stand 10 minutes. Drain well; pat cherries dry with paper towels and set aside.

Place cheese, butter, mayo and mustard in a food-processor bowl. Cover and process till combined. Stir in cherries and green onions; cover and refrigerate.

Serve with crackers or cocktail breads (I use rye or whole wheat)

Makes about 2 cups.
