Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip

This dip is quick and easy when you're in a bind for party food. I divide it between 2 or 3 of those oval foil au gratin pans (8 inch), and take it along with a jar of pepper jelly and a box of Wheat Thins. I buy a great habanero pepper jelly at a local craft fair to go with it.

2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
2 cups sliced green onions
2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise
Hot pepper jelly

Mix cheese, onions and nuts in a large bowl. Stir in enough mayonnaise to hold together. Press cheese mixture into a shallow dish or pie plate and chill. Or if desired, press into a round cake pan lined with plastic wrap, chill and unmold onto plate before serving. Top with pepper jelly.

Serve with Wheat Thins or other crackers.
