Combine everything but the almonds thoroughly. Shape and place on a rather large platter forming the shape of a pine cone (flat against the platter.) place in fridg to chill for about a half an hour. Stud cheese with almonds to cover it. Try to do it in rows to resemble a pine cone.
Put back in fridg till serving time. Just before serving, place a few small pine branches around the cheese ball. Really festive and a show stopper.
Serve with crackers.
Got this recipe from a friend who is a chef and a teacher at our local cooking school "Cooks' of Crocus Hill" - B.J. Carpenter B.J. brought this to a Christmas party and I weedled the recipe out of her.
