1 pound Swiss cheese, finely shredded

1 tsp dry mustard

1 /4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 cup dark beer

Instructions

Place all ingredients into bowl of electric mixer and mix well using a paddle attachment.

Divide mixture into six 8-ounce containers wrap them well. Age the beer cheese for four to five days before serving.

Before serving, allow the cheese to come to room temperature.

Serve with crackers or toasted rye bread points.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
