CURRY CHEESE BALL

by Mary Lou Smith

24 ounces of cream cheese (room temp.)
3/4 cup sour cream

1 cup chopped raisins
1 cup chopped salted peanuts

8 slices cooked, & crumbled bacon
½ cup chopped green onion

4 teaspoons curry powder
Major Grey’s Chutney

chopped, fresh parsley (optional)
toasted coconut

Directions:

Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, raisins, peanuts, bacon, green onion & curry powder until all are evenly distributed in the cream cheese. (I also add about a tablespoon or a bit more of the chutney.) Shape into two balls & wrap in plastic wrap & refrigerate until set. (2-3 hours) When chilled coat with parsley or coconut. Serve as a spread with your favorite crackers.
