Ingredients:

16 oz softened cream cheese

8.5 oz can crushed pineapple, well drained

2 cups chopped pecans

1 tsp salt

(If you would like a sweeter version, you can add a couple of teaspoons of granulated sugar or add an amount to your taste or liking)

- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

- Add the crushed pineapple (make sure you drain it well, or your ball will be soggy) and salt (and sugar if using) and mix well.

- Stir in one and a half cups of chopped pecans and reserve the rest for coating.

- Shape the mixture into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or for at least four hours to firm up.
