Ingredients

10 pounds sharp cheddar cheese, grated

3 pounds cream cheese, softened

1 small onion, grated

3 cups pecans, chopped

1/4 cup ginger

1/4 cup garlic salt

2 cups cooking sherry

Directions

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.
