Ingredients:
1 log goat cheese (I bought the 1lb log at Costco) Keep this refrigerated!
3/4 c pecans, chopped
1/2 c cranberries, chopped (a heaping cup, not a level cup)
1/4 tsp sea salt (or a pinch)
Toast pecans on rimmed cookie sheet at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Allow pecans to cool. I went upstairs and took a shower while they cooled, you could choose another activity. Chop pecans and cranberries finely and mix together in a bowl. I used a food processor and pulsed the pecans and the cranberries separately to the right size. Season mixed cranberries and nuts with salt to your taste, I used about 2 pinches or so. Spread mixture on cooled baking pan or cutting board. Open the goat cheese log and roll in the mixture, making sure to press hard and coat the ends. Serve right away with crackers, crostini, or wrap in plastic and refrigerate until you are ready to enjoy.
The picture is the log all wrapped up and ready to chill. I was too busy to get a picture of it served on an actual plate and it would have looked slightly egotistical to take the picture in front of the guests.
