I used to have a stained glass studio in MD and shared studio space with several other artists. We had a pig-themed art show one year that was a blast! Covered by TV, radio, and newspapers, too. We called the show "Pig Out! Read more A Smorgasbord of Pig Art and Collectibles." I first came up with this recipe for the opening in Ellicott City on October 21, 1982 at our Upstairs 8173 Gallery.

Ingredients
- 10 pounds sharp cheddar cheese, grated shopping list
- 3 pounds cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 1 small onion, grated shopping list
- 3 cups pecans, chopped shopping list
- 1/4 cup ginger shopping list
- 1/4 cup garlic salt shopping list
- 2 cups cooking sherry shopping list
How to make it
- With large, heavy duty mixer, blend cream cheese with sherry and onion until smooth. In large bowl ( I use a crab pot), using hands, mix cream cheese mixture and cheddar thoroughly. Then add remaining ingredients continuing to work with hands until the consistency of clay.
- Form or sculpt into whatever suits the occasion and surround with fruit and crackers.
- NOTE: Obviously this was sculpted into a pig - first for the Pig Out and next for a wedding reception in Pittsburgh, which was casual pig roast. YOU can sculpt the mixture into anything you want - it is quite maleable. Also feel free to scale this back as necessary. As the quantities read, it makes a nice life-sized piglet. Awwwwwww.
