Ref; White Cheddar Cherry Fattie?

[TomKnollRFV]

So I've been musing this idea and I really need input. I want to do this for an X-mas Fatty to bring over..just white cheddar shredded off the block. Then some chopped up Maraschino cherries.

I can't figure out if this is a good or bad idea. Is the flavour combo going to be poor? Do you think I need some very mild stuffing in there to help hold it together?

Not the only place I found that combo.

But something else should go I there, too. Just not sure what.

I'm racking my brain of what else to throw in, since cherry and white cheddar is fairly delicate. And rice doesn't fit texture wise. I tried it before for a fatty, gets super soft and mushy.

Maybe a sweet potato hash or mashed sweet potato with a cherry salsa filling.

That combo doesn't sound good to me, but I've tried a lot of things that didn't sound good & tasted awesome!
Hope yours does too!!!

Maraschino.... No.
Fresh or dried... Yes.
I would think tart is right on like with the linked cheese.

Nuts, some nice salty nuts.
Pistachio, hazelnut, pecan, walnut, Brazil's.

The combo sounds interesting. Are you using ground beef/pork or sausage?

I’ve never made a fatty but a fatty consisting of ground turkey, your cheese, dried cherries or cranberries and some stuffing rolled up in a bacon weave sounds holiday-like to me.

Then slice and drizzle some gravy on top?

I’m just shooting off the top of my head here.

Ooh good point, dried cherries would be better. Maybe I just like to eat maraschino cherries.

I'll be using ground pork sausage, I got 12 ounce tubes at 1.29 each, which is as cheap as ever so I snagged two specifically for a fatty to bring to my aunt's for Xmas.

The hash idea sounds good too..

Man ya'all gave me to many ideas! Not help narrow things down! LOL
