Appetizers recipes

One of Mrs. Carter's favorite recipes was for a simple cheddar cheese mold. Served in a ring to be spread on crackers, the cheese appetizer was prepared for many of the Carter's family dinners and some of their official functions. One unusual ingredient was the strawberry preserves served in the centre of the ring.

People who do not like ordinary pate seem to love this one. Vary the herbs and substitute the vegetables as you wish. Serve with water crackers, thick slices of crusty French bread, thin slices of whole wheat bread, or unsalted whole wheat crackers. May be frozen.
