Sandra Mills called this one Pier 4 Cheese Spread, and it makes a generous batch: four containers of Wispride Cheddar spread whipped with cream cheese, butter, white horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and sherry until light and fluffy.

In her words: "I make this and put it in nice containers or crocks to give as gifts." It is a perfect holiday hostess gift with a box of crackers.
