Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_sodium'], recipe: soften cheese. gradually add the pineapple. mix in 1 cup of the nuts and add the rest of the ingredients. chill well. remove from refrigerator and shape into 1 or 2 balls. roll into the rest of the remaining nuts. wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you serve. garnish the ball with jarred cherries and pineapple rings.

Target recipe: let cream cheese soften at least an hour at room temperature. add water chestnuts and garlic - i've never measured this, but my guess is about 2 heaping teaspoons. mix well (ok - i admit it, i use my hands, it's just easier). shape into a ball and place in airtight container. chill at least one hour. before serving coat outside with with parsley. serve with bland crackers - pretty much anything works, but well -- everything tastes better on a ritz.
