“This recipe will make two good sized cheese balls an can be halved, if desired. It has a good flavor, the little bit of liquid smoke is a nice touch. You may want to adjust the horseradish and onion to your taste. Make sure to drain the salmon very well, even so you may need to put the mixture in the freezer for a bit to get it firm enough to roll into a ball. That being said, this would also make for a great filling for tea sandwiches or as a filling for Luncheon Puff Pastry Appetizers” – April Ferre
