Pineapple Cheese Ball

I FINALLY got my gosh darned cheese ball right! :) The trick is that you need to open the can of pineapple, drain it as good as you can, and then put it in a bowl (open to the air) in the fridge for 2 days, so that it can dry out. I tried three times to make this recipe and all I ended up with was a bunch of soup...then, my house cleaner was over here, and she says "why not let it dry out in the fridge for a couple days?"...thanks Sue! It ended up being worth the wait, as it was very tasty!

Ingredients:

-- 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
-- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained (and dried out in fridge)

-- 2 tbsp finely chopped green onions

-- 4 tbsp chopped green bell pepper

-- 1 tbsp seasoned salt

-- 1 cup chopped pecans

-- crackers

Mix cream cheese, pineapple, onions, bell pepper and salt. Shape into 2 (or 1 big) balls. Roll in chopped pecans. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve with crackers.
