Rosalynn Carter's Cheese Ring with Strawberry Preserves

When Pres. Jimmy Carter was in office, his wife Rosalynn shared this recipe with the world.  It has been making the cooking rounds ever since.  My mother made it often.  Today, I decided to take it to the Palombo family gathering this week.  I hope they like it.  I hope you do as well.

1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
6 twists freshly-ground black pepper
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 (12 ounce) jar strawberry preserves
Whole-grain crackers or Melba toast
Directions:
Combine cheese with mayonnaise, chopped nuts and onions. Mix in black pepper and cayenne, and blend thoroughly. Press into 3-cup ring 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 center with strawberry preserves and serve at once with whole-grain crackers or Melba toast.
