"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."

In a mixing bowl, combine cheese with mayonnaise,
chopped nuts and onions. Mix in black pepper and
cayenne, and blend thoroughly. Press in a 3 cup mold.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. To serve, dip mold
into a pan of hot water for 15 to 20 seconds before
turning out onto a serving platter. Fill centre with
strawberry preserves, and serve at once with whole
grain crackers or melba toast.
