Moo's Curried Cheese Pate

Moo loved appetizers. Growing up my sister, brother and I recall many dinner parties that were exclusively appetizers. In fact as a kid, Moo wouldn't bother to fix dinner for us on party nights (even when we weren't invited to join the guests) she'd just fix a plate of tasty treats for us. How I loved appetizer parties. As I grew older, I was allowed to help Moo prepare appetizers.

3 packages (8 oz.) cream cheese at room temperature
2 packages (10 oz. size) longhorn cheese, grated
2 t. curry powder
Mixture of ginger marmalade and Rose’s lime marmalade
Chopped scallions
½ t. salt, or to taste
¼ c. sherry

Line a 1 ½ quart loaf pan with saran wrap. Put cream cheese in processor and beat until smooth. Add cheddar cheese, curry, salt, and sherry and beat until smooth. Create a mixture of ginger marmalade and Rose’s lime marmalade.

To build pate, put in a layer of the cheese mixture, followed by the marmalade. Follow with another layer of cheese.

When ready to serve, let stand at room temperature at least an hour. Unmold then add a final layer of marmalade on top. Dress with scallions all around the edge. Surround with crackers.
