Thanksgiving is about the feast; however, it takes time to make the turkey and all the sides. Appetizers keep your friends and family members hunger at bay until all the components of the meal are complete. This goat cheese and cranberry ball from Mother Rimmy is a sweet and savory appetizer that will satisfy everyone. Goat cheese is combined with dried cranberries and chopped walnuts (what could be easier?). Serve this cheese ball with plenty of cracked pepper crackers.
