Olive-Cheddar-Sherry Cheese Ball

• 2 8-oz bricks cream cheese
• 16 oz. cheddar cheese, finely grated
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (preferred) or 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 to 3 Tablespoons cooking sherry (or real sherry)
• 1 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, finely chopped
• coarsely chopped walnuts

Instructions:
Bring cheeses to room temperature (important!) in a large bowl. Add garlic and sherry, and whip together well. Stir in olives. Form into a log or ball, coat with walnuts and refrigerate for a few hours in waxed paper to let the flavors blend.
