Something a little different than the traditional port wine cheese ball. This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks, the 612th TFS Wives’ Cookbook, 4th edition published in 1980. While this simple book lacks color photos (my favorite part of any recipe), I did have the advantage of sampling many of the recipes at potluck gatherings. Thanks to Lois Howard for sharing this one.
Ingredients
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
8 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 t. seasoning salt
1/4 c. green bell pepper, finely diced
1 T. dried onion
1 c. dry roasted sunflower seeds
Directions
Combine all ingredients using only 1/2 c. sunflower seeds in cheese mixture. Form a ball and refrigerate approximately 30 minutes. Roll in remaining sunflower seeds; refrigerate until time to serve with crackers.
